He got a cold because his immune system has been down and my family and i were giving him around the clock care for a week until i noticed that he had a sniffle. i brought him to the doctor and they told me that he had to stay there. They said he probably can't smell his food and that it is causing him not to eat. besides this, his sugar is very low and all of the food that we've been giving him, pedialyte, esbilac (sp?) and nutrical and karo were not helping him. Evidently it only lasts for 15 minutes and because he doesn't eat its harming him more than anything. I am sad because my breeder won't take my calls and they don't know what to do. I am pulling for him and I think that because he'll be so small, and delicate he'll need a healthy companion to keep him going. If you have advice on a breeder or have had this experience please let me know what to do. I am very very sad and have crying episodes every night he's been at the animal hospital. |
I am so sorry you are having to go thru this with your new baby! I do not live in your area so I can't help you with a good breeder. I just wanted to tell you that we will all be pulling for your little guy! We sure hope and pray that he gets stronger and pulls thru this. You might want to post this on the Sick and Injured Thread as well. Some more experienced breeders might know more that you can do when your pup does come home from the vet.
