In my case, I could only feed her that the first 24 hours. Once he starts eating better reduce it to 4 for a week and then to 6 hours but if he seems to be getting bad again go back to feeding him more often.
Look at his gums a lot a go by that to give him the nutrical. His gums should be pink and if they are not you must give him the nutrical. I was giving her a lot and I mean a lot of nutrical that I kept asking asking my vet if it was fine and she said it was because giving her too much would only give her diarrhea. Oh and apply it directly to the roof of the mouth because the body will absorb it faster. |
Thank you XenaLee..do you mean feed him every 4 hours still @ 3 ml each? Just want to make sure I understood that right...that would mean I could get about 3 hours of sleep @ a time @ nite..oh boy..I like that ALOT..that in it self will do Ziggy and me a world of good!
