| New Mama not eating or drinking I'm afraid she will stop producing milk. I'm giving her a tablespoon of chicken broth every hour, by syringe. The vet put her on an antibiotic and gave me calcium tabs for her. I disolved the calcium tabin melted ice cream and gave her that by syringe. Does anyone have any other suggestions. she just will not eat anything I've tried the ice cream, boiled chicken, cottage cheese, boiled eggs, and canned pedigree. She turns away fom all of it. I'm also giving her pepto Bismal, hoping that by tomorrow she feels like eating. |

| Jeanie, I have a Biewer girl here that will not eat ANYTHING for the first two weeks after whelp. I had no choice but to syringe feed her for a few weeks, until her appetite kicked in. I used a cheap coffee grinder from walmarts, and ground up her puppy kibble. I mixed it with goats milk formula to form a liquid gruel. I also mixed in a teaspoon of liquid Dyne. I fed her about 120 cc's 4 times a day. I use the 35 CC "O" ring syringe's. I would also boil chicken livers and offer her them once a day. She loved them and accepted them much more then the plain chicken breast. This fattened her up in no time. I also offered her whelping pudding throughout the weeks she was feeding her pups. A few other things to try is raw ground beef or venison. ALL my girls love it. Also...Caesars tinned pet foods will sometimes get a picky eater to eat. The key is not what she should eat...but getting her to eat something! Good luck with your girl. Her appetite will kick in soon. : )

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | My girls love Natural Balance Turkey and/or Chicken rolls when they turn their nose up at anything else. What you want to do right now is make sure she has plenty of fresh water and whatever she likes to eat, feed her.....even Cesars....just so she is eating. |

Someone suggested I try the boiled chicken livers and thankfully...they have ALWAYS worked for even my pickiest girl. But I usually don't mess around and will just syringe feed the the picky ones puppy food gruel until they will eat on their own.
