 Baby Cordelia
I'm so sorry to hear that Cordelia isn't feeling well. Our Maggie was doing almost the same thing. She wouldn't eat. All she wanted to do was sleep. I made sure she got her Nutristat. She even started tinkling in her crate. She wouldn't make a peep when she woke up, just up to tinkle and back down. I made some changes myself. At first I was her Short Order Cook and then the Laundry Maid. I finally tried this:
2 tsp. ground up dry puppy food
1 tsp. Gerber Chicken and Gravy
Enough diluted Goat's Milk for a consistancy of oatmeal
She eats the above 3 times a day. In-between snacks and bedtime is when I give her the Nutristat. She's only 10 weeks old.
She slobbed herself out on it. She now walks about strutting her barrel belly. We keep reminding her that it isn't ladylike to look like you have a beer belly.
I also quit locking the crate door at night. It's in the kitchen with a baby gate. During the day I leave it open and she goes in and naps. When she is awake, I take her out every hour. During the night, I put a tinkle pad down on the floor. She no longer soils her bed. I throw the tinkle pad away the next morning, use a couple of Chlorox Wipes to wipe away germs, and start a new day. She is much happier, eats well, doesn't throw up and only tinkles once during the night on the tinkle pad. I have ordered the Wizdog. It should be here soon. Figured after she is housebroken, the Wizdog will come in handy for those horrible rainy or cold days.
Hope this helps you a little. |
