Thank you very much for trying to help. This lil guy passed away about two hours ago, one day shy of 3 weeks.
I now have instant glucose on hand, yesterday he perked up some. He liked the warm of laying under a shirt on your chest and a hot water bottle and didnt cry anymore. But His desire to nurse never did return and he never did lose the strength to fight me with a feeding. He just wanted to sleep really and be left alone. He went to sleep peacefully after a feeding and didnt wake up. His mother had already decided to reject him so he was with his hot water bottle and lambs wool cloth.
Classic failure to thrive puppy. Try as you might they just dont do better and lose weight even if supplemented routinely.
Im so sure I made mistakes and didnt do everything just right, but I sure wanted to turn the tables around for this boy.
Thank you for all the tips I never thought of or knew about.
Maybe I should have just let him go but I would always think maybe I could have saved him.
God bless. |
