 Yorkie In Shock-So Was Kia
I didn't have to worry about pain-killers for Kia; she received morphine from the vet. I did find though, she was listless and unwilling to eat and drink-both from pain and the anaesthetic I think. I mixed a tablespoon of honey in a bit of water, and with a syringe, fed a little to her at a time; she seemed to appreciate it. It gave her a bit of energy, calories and water all at the same time, with little effort on her part. The next day I gave her more, and still do at time, although she is feeling a little better and both eating and drinking by herself.
The honey and water cannot hurt her, and seems to help, so it is something I will do whenever necessary. I liken it to me requiring a good, hot cup of tea when not feeling right, with honey in it on rare occasions. |
