First I must mention that your picture of Brewster is just darling and I can see how he has attached himself to your heartstrings. He is just beautiful ... :love: I will pray that he improves and that his lack of appetite is just due to his new surroundings. I know that the chix and rice is a good choice and hopefully this will stimulate his appetite to eat. Please keep us updated on his progress .... :heart to |
Thanks everyone! :D Question....his weight went from 5.9 to 5.5 in 6 days. Is this a lot? Have any of you had these problems getting a new one comfortable at his new home & if so, what did you do? My hubby was talking about some gravy type sauce at the petstore to put over his food, but I am afraid it will upset his tummy. I am doing the chicken and rice today, but is that OK to give everyday? I have to get him to eat. I am trying sugar in his water today. |

He is still acting odd? Don't waste your money on the gravey type sauce. I would start him on chicken and white rice and see how it goes... You don't want plain sugar in his water.. |

He ate about half of what I put out this morning of the prescription diet. I have not seen him go to water today. He did drink some last night. Why no sugar in the water? I was told to try just little to see if he would drink. His blood sugar is fine, never has been low. |
Thank goodness he is doing better. I pray he will continue to improve. Thanks for keeping us updated! Hope your day is wonderful. :) |

What is the presciption diet? I have never heard of putting regular sugar in a puppies water...and I still don't see a purpose as you know about Nutri-cal...Nutri-cal does have something in it to make little ones want to eat. |

Okay I understand now... The prescription food is to make him want to eat...usually they scarf this down... Still not sure about the sugar... Hmm I will call a few people to see if they have any ideas. A puppy should be running around and causing havoc....and then crash and sleep and then wake up and start all over. They will sleep alot but usually the transition is very easy... |
I've never heard of the sugar in the water either . Hmmmmm? You can add a little Parmesan cheese on top of the food to also get him to eat too. Another thing that you might want to try is adding a little water to him food so that as he eats he will get hydrated that way as well. Did he recently have vaccines? You did also say that he is teething maybe that is what is causing him to not want to eat. |
I'm so happy to hear this! I hope the new diet helps! |
Have you done a blood panel on him? |
Good news. I made chicken and white rice tonight, no seasonings and took the skin off. He scarfed it!! I was so happy to see him eat, a lot! I did add water to it, thinking he would drink the water to get to the food, and he wouldnt touch it that way. So, I gave him a dry plate, just the chicken and rice, he LOVED it. (actually, they all did) This is probably a no no, but my hubby gave him his water with a tablespoon of the chkn broth added. He drank the entire cup. Yes, a blood panel was done and everything was normal, except for the dehydration. I even had them do a parvo test, fecal was normal and so was his temp. Hoping today is another step to him feeling well. :D |
BTW... he wouldnt drink the sugar water????? |
