| Sorry to hear about your little one. I don't have any experience with this but hopefully someone will come on that may be able to help you.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | With severe weight loss, sometimes it can be tough to get an appetite back. Have you tried a premium canned dog food? Maybe Natures Variety, Evangers? You could even feed homecooked for awhile - like mashed potatoes with some fish or chicken (and add calcium). Give Peanut Butter off of your finger - it has protein and has nice fat content; give cheese too - it has nice caloric content - but not too much, as you don't want to constipate. This isn't the best quality, but to stimulate the tummy - have you tried the little toddler hot dogs in the little glass jars? Even when Marcel was at his worst (tummy wise), I could get him to eat those. But really, mashed potatoes can also really stimulate the appetite too...

| Just a suggestion (although I like everything that Wyllie's Mom said) - what about the Nature's Variety Raw Frozen Medallions |

| Did the vet tell you why they decided to release her? If she isn't eating and she is coming out of a poisoning, I think she should probably be there?

As for the ceasers - you could try it, but I do want to mention that it is a really poor food, nutritionally. I really wouldn't recommend it for her. Of course, if it's all she'll eat right now - I guess it's fine, but I honestly wouldn't feed it at all. There are such better options out there at good pet food stores. If all you have access to is Petco/Petsmart - then I'd recommend Wellness Brand canned. But go slow on introducing new canned - you don't want to cause diarrhea. I'd really mix w/ mashed potatoes at first, given how little she has eaten lately - she could be *very* sensitive...

| Thank you guys so much for being so helpfull im so happy I have found this forum. I will try the grated cheese with the beef and rice. And also I will make some mashed potatos. Will it matter if they are instant ? I have heard bad things of ceasar' food but it might be my only option as of right now. When do you think I will need to stop trying at home and require vet help? pictures of her ...she doesnt like flash...She is just so skinny I hate it Last edited by abaddon248; 10-01-2008 at 10:58 AM. |

| She is cute! I would be worried that she isn't eating so I would try to get her to eat something (like now) and if you are not successful, I would call the Vet - as this is serious. Also is she drinking? I would be forcing Pedialite thru a syringe all the time |

| I agree with Nicole. She needs to eat now. The vet really shouldn't have let her go without eating...

| I know they shouldnt of let her go. But because this vet was interested in how much money I had in my pocket instead of the well being of my dog. You know. I have been force feeding her baby food about a 1/4 cup a day.. in 1/2tbs 8 times a day. |

| Ok, so she is getting food in? How about water? I would still be supplmenting with the Pedialite as well. Also does she pee and poop ok and often enough? |
