Yeah, i took and crushed her dry food up, and mixed baby food with it last night, and this morning, and both times she licked the bowl clean! she loves baby food for some reason, i thought it was weird, but as long as shes eating something! shes also not having much problems with the tiny meat filled treats i got for her at petco, hopefully her swelling will go down soon, her cough sounds horrible

how long did your baby have it?

Also .... please remember what moonvalley said: "Dehydration is critical- even more important than food. I would not mess around- if the puppy can not drink or eat, then go to a good vet for IV for hydrating," ... have you tried to get her to drink Pedialite? Hope she is better soon! Puppy kisses from Toto!

She drinks fine, i always give her water, even thought shes probably not thirsty, i will often fill the oral syringe with water and give it to her, just to make sure, but she drinks fine, and shes eating well, as long as i crush her food up

When I first bought my Yorkie, Pixie Pie, her breeder sent her food ground up. She was a picky eater so I mixed it with chicken broth and her vet told me add whatever she would eat to the mixture. I found baby food in Chicken and Noodles her favorite. I'd just add a smidge. When she was older and on Prescrition ID for awhile, which she hated, I added a bit of water and sprinkled a smidge of grated parmesan cheese on the top. It worked.

Good! If she is eating too, then maybe it's just gonna take a little time for her to get over this. Poor baby ... hope she's all better soon!!
