Very upset Abby needs prayers - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Julie1760 · 03-21-2008, 06:28 PM

this might help

1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup baby rice cereal
1 jar meat baby food, anything but turkey
1 tsp. karo or pancake syrup

Mix together and add a little water if it's too thick for the syringe. Give approximately 2-4 cc's every hour (depending on size), then when the pup is doing better, you can increase the amount and decrease the frequency. After a day or two of this, as long as they are eating this on their own, gradually add softened kibble or canned food and slowly decrease the baby mixture until they are eating the food. Should take a week or so to do the change, to avoid upsetting their tummy. She told me to keep checking her gums, that they should look like a humans, dark pink to red, and her ears should feel warm, not cold at all, . If I saw gray in her gums, I was to feed immediately and if no improvement in 1/2 hour, to get her to the vet again. And I was told also to keep her warm, so we took turns holding her against our bodies.

I am so sorry Abby is sick. When CAli was a baby and wouldn't eat I gave her Cesars wet food and she ate it. I wouldn;t keep her on it long term but maybe you could try that. Have you talked to the people you got her from? I will keep her in my prayers. I know how stressful it is to have a sick baby, hang in there.

The Nutri-cal you just put some on your finger, open her mouth and put it on the roof of her mouth and she will eat it. As for the pedialyte, I would just give her a couple of syringes full every couple of hours. How old is you puppy and how big is she?

I'm sending prayers for Abby and you
I know how worried you must be

I am sorry your girl is sick,
when they don't feel well you have to make them take the nutrical.
Just put it on your finger and put it on the roof of her mouth.
She needs it. Also get some Rice Baby Cereal and mix Chicken gravy/baby food together with a lil water and get a syringe and force feed her until she gets her appetite back.
She needs nutrition, also syringe some pedialyte in her slowly so she doesn't choke. If she starts to dehydrate the vet will need to give her some SubQ fluids to keep her hydrated. Pups need Sugar/Fluids and also a heating pad to keep warm. That helps them a lot.
Prayers for you and Abby

Hi Jessi. I posted on one of the other forums that you posted on. I'm in Jersey too. If I can help you out in anyway, pls. PM me. I've been through some of this before. Have you tried just plain boiled chicken? Also, how old is she and how much does she weigh? I'm not sure where in Jersey you are located? I'm in s. Jersey exit 74 on the Garden State. Bella was 5 weeks when we got her and was not eating on her own. She's now almost 5 yrs. old. I'm not an expert but I'm savvy with the feeding part. If I can help you out pls. drop me a note. Elaine
