| Prayers for you and Layla going up right now I hope it's nothing serious, poor baby Don't feel bad, you thought she was getting better. It stinks to rush to the vet only to hear "Oh, just let it run it's course" so I know why you didn't go yet She'll be okay

| Oh I hope Layla is going to be okay. It has definitely been long enough that i would be concerned but you thought she was getting better. They will give you meds for her that will clear it up

| i'm very glad we went.. he said it had been too long to just let it go... he gave her some meds to help her along and some special food.. the sad part is she isn't allowed to eat at all today its going to be tough to hear her cry when she is hungry! i also have NO idea how i am going to get her to swallow the pills.. i saw him do it but we BOTH had to hold her and my parents are out of town .. any suggestions would be great! thanks everyone! |

| When my baby take pills with an empty stomach, he is almost always guaranteed to throw up. So I always give him pills half an hour after he eats. Maybe its the same with your baby? Try to check with your vet about taking the medicine with empty stomach? I am so sorry to hear about it. Hope she gets better soon.

| hi potter.. i think that is what it was.. because i gave it to her again.. and up it came.. but he said she sint' to eat until right before bed.. so i'll give her her second dose then. thanks so much.. she hasn't puked in about 20 min and is napping (thank god) when she gets up i'm going to try and get some water or Pedialyte in her but it is SO hard.. she wants nothing to do with it.. anyone have any creative suggestions to get fluids in her??? |

| Try giving her ice cubes or freezing the pedialyte for her, might be more appealing that way. Hope she feels better.

| Awww, poor baby I dunno, if it was me, I'd feed her SOMETHING Maybe just some plain rice for now and see if that stays down. She can't go without food too long Maybe you could put a little watered down chicken broth (I use Swanson's low sodium) in the rice and see if she'll eat that, for some fluids. Did he give her any subcutaneous fluids?

| I just saw your little girl is sick. I hope she starts feeling better soon. I used to use a syringe or a dropper to give fluids. Good luck.
