| 8 oz and 11 weeks old. Going downhill!! HELP If there is anyone ot there that can answer this right away, I would really appreciate it. My little one is 8 ounces and 11 weeks old I have been feeding him Nutra-Cal and chicken and whatever else he wants. Last night, he started going down hill. Now he is not even taking the Nutra-Cal. I am having to force feed him water!! Does anyone have any ideas?

| yes. I called the vet. He's been to the vet 3 times for this. It comes and goes, but this ones the worst. I put this in the "sick puppy" forum too. Maybe with it being in both forms we can get him thru it!!

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | buy beef liver and boil it in about 6 onz of water, take that broth and mix it with soft good quality puppy food and a bit of goat's milk, put a bit on your finger and put it in his mouth, do this every two hours, that is what I do for my puppies.is very important to get some food on him, you can also add half a teaspoon of vanilla yogurt to the mix for a bit of sweet flavor, I have save a few puppies with this.. so please give it a try.. hope he gets better soon.. |

| Get that baby to the vet for sub-q fluids w/glucose. Have the vet show you how and bring some home. When a tiny gets weak, organ failure can come on quickly. You can't feed him enough water to see him through this.

| He's been to the vet already. I am giving him Ringers twice a day 5 cc's a day. And he's getting fluid by syringe about every 2 hours.

| Woogieman is an experienced breeder who has experience with fading pups please listen to him. Youve got to find a vet that will put him on IV fluids

Chachi, I doubt that a vet could do IV on such a small one. The veins are too tiny. The fluids I'm mentioning would be most likely given sub-q.

If you have been giving him a lot of Nutri-cal then his pancreas might be exhausted. Please read the following article: http://www.showpapillons.com/formula.htm From the above article: ....make a 5% glucose solution by mixing one teaspoon white corn syrup with a few grains each of sodium chloride (table salt) and potassium chloride (salt substitute) with four tablespoons boiled water. This resembles a Ringer’s glucose-sale fluid but, of course, cannot be used for subcutaneous or intravenous injection because it is not sterile. We put the solution into a dropper bottle. I realize your little one is an older puppy but this solution might help him. The first thing is to get him stable. If you keep giving him different types of food then you might be doing more harm than good. It could be upsetting his tummy. I recommend you get a good quality dry puppy food and grind it up. You can make a mush using 1/2 goats milk mixed with 1/2 water. Or in place to the goat milk you can use some canned Pedigree Puppy food mixed with the ground up dry food. I will be praying your baby recovers and starts to thrive.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I find mine at walmart, by the carnation milk and baking stuff, also I had ordered it from online stores the powdered one, is more economical. and great to keep on hand, If I have any left over I put the powder in a ziploc baggie and freeze it, when I need it again I just take it out of the freezer and put it in a plastic container. http://www.vitacost.com/Meyenberg-Kosher-Goat-Milk-Powder-with-Vitamin-D?csrc=MSNSHPB-072904000028&srccode=cii_18492716&cpncode=00-64552740-2 |
