I posted you a very long message yesterday and my stupid work computer lost it!!!!! I'm sorry - I'll have to repost it. Noooooooo - never too many messages. I love it! Keep them coming! Joker looks sooo cute! Tia is the same. SKINNY. She's hard to weigh cuz she moves all over making the scale off., but still 11 oz. She has lost some grams.
I got some Hills A/D from my Vet. Blended it and tried the syringe. It went "ok" but yesterday (with the help of Zoey cuz she kepted licking her face making her mouth open) I was able to get in about 4 cc's of the A/D. Then I figured I'd start trying it when I feed her. She always ends up falling to sleep so when she falls to sleep I pop some in her mouth. She doesn't like the syringe so I have to be sneaky. She loves her bottle though. I seen some bottles made for babies at Walgreens made for introducing babies to food. The nipple is larger to pass baby food thru. Maybe I should try them and start blending her food for her and see if she'll take it that way. I just talked myself into that one!
She just isn't interested in eating on her own. Its very frustrating!
I wanted to ask about the honey. How much do I use? Does honey have alot of calories? The formula I make has a little karo surup in it. Just a little. The reason I make the formula is because its said to have 11 calories per cc vrs 1 calorie per 1 cc with the canned formulas. So I make it for that reason. I posted the recipe before but if you want to know whats in it let me know.
My vet is interested in seeing her. But I know he's already thinking surgery. I don't want to go that route if she'll be fine. He said that with it being in the back (the solf palate) thats that the best place to have it if theres going to be one. ??? I just don't know anything about them (cleft palates) so I just have no clue! Will the soft palate close up as well? I've emailed the hennwood Kennels but they never emailed me back.
How old is Joker again? Did his head seem big for his body? Tia's does
I think becasue she's so skinny. I just want that girl to gain some weight!!! I appreciate all the advice you've been giving me. It really really does help. I look everyday for your replies, more than once a day!!!! Always eager to hear from you!
And to everyone else following. THANKS SO MUCH for your support! It means sooooo much. I appreciate it all.
