Keep us posted I haven't been following your other thread, but I hope by now since your light is off you went to the vets. I hope your little one pulls thru!

Keep him warm....and do not feed him milk if his temp is not normal...they can not digest milk if they are cold they will die faster. Do you have them on a warming pad in mom's bed...? Best of luck

I'd really go to the store and get the mylcon or baby castoria drops. sounds like to me if you are using a syringe he could be getting air in his tummy. Vet sounds good to be going too but I spent over 300 at the vet and couldn't find out why the puppy was crying and low and behold I gave the baby castoria and within in 10 minutes the puppy stopped crying and was doing good and I never had no other trouble with her

I'm posting to say I didn't mean not to go to the vet that it is a good idea to go but I would still try the mylacon or castoria drops

If you are giving him Sub Q I wouldn't bother feeding him right now I would make sure his temp is not dropping. If you feed him and his temp is down it won't digest and if he is not suckling/swallowing you may aspirate him.

I am sorry your baby is having problems again.
Pups need fluid/warmth and glucose. The Sub Q can sustain him for a bit without doing the feedings until you get him stabilized.
You can get the gas drops for infants at Walmart.
They do help if it is indeed gas. Also if he has not had BMs you can use a sliver of a suppository just hold it in his rectum a bit and it will help him to go.
Wishing you the best, sorry I wasn't on earlier my son had surgery this morning

He's still hanging in here...he's sleeping....quietly...for the first time since 4 am. We did a second subq on him, as my hubby thought he still seemed a little dehydrated. Maybe that did the trick. I'm going to call the vet right now and get him in there. thanks for being with me through this...

Careful not to over do the sub q you can flood their systems by doing too much.
Still sending you hugs and prayers. I know it is so stressful to go thru these things

So glad to hear he is doing a little better, sending prayers the vet check goes well.
You must be exhausted, I know this can be overwhelming but try to take care of yourself too. We're all thinking of you.

I'm glad he is resting. I will continue to pray about this situation and hope that things continue to improve!!!

You can get Mylicon at the drug store or Wal-Mart. It is for babies with gas. Ask the pharmacist if you can't find it. It's worth a shot.

Oh, I hope Orange is resting well and feeling stronger every min!!
Prayers to you all!
you are being such a good Mom!!

When I spoke with Deb yesterday the little orange boy had not been pooping by his mom and he was backed up, her daughter pooped him and he deficated quite a bit...I told her to give him some benebac and nutridrop...she said he seemed much better last night, when she called at 5 am I am thinking it is bacteral because of his poop backing up...she gave more benebac, she did a bit more sub q...he seems to be more active and now not screaming...she is on the way to the vet to make sure he is fine.
