A few times when my karleigh was sick, I did feed Ceasers, I know its not
the best of foods, I poured chicken broth over it, just a tad, It worked. as stated i know its no to be feed long term, but when our babies wont eat and we get so nervous, I am willing to try what ever it takes. wishing you
the very best with your little one. it was grilled chicken flavor. very soft
and she loved it, food chocies are so hard.

Thanks again everybody for the support. we have been syinge feeding her when she doesn't eat. I don't like that but it keeps her going. I often wonder if it is the Albon upsetting her stomach. she is on it for 4 more days. She seems hungry and is eager when you present food, but when she gets her face to it she decides it's not what she wants. Tonight we were eating dinner and my wife was holding her and it was all she could do to keep her from climbing on the table after the food. we fixed her some of her food "one of the 10 different packages/bowls of puppy friendly food" and she again turned her nose up at it. We will eventually work through this and THANKS again for all of the suggestions. We are half way through the list that everybody has provided. We love our baby and are going to do everything possible to give her a good chance at a long life. I will keep you updated.

I saw your video of Leesi learning to fetch. I am really glad to see her making a great recovery. This gives me hope that we will be posting videos of Willow in the near future. I think she would to make a good guard dog.

Keep up the good work!

I look forward to them! As you can tell by the tone of my voice, Leesi brings me great joy and I know Willow (darling name, btw) will bring you and your wife just as much.

So sorry to hear you little baby does not eat. I wonder if she is nauseous? Perhaps the anti nausea drug, Cerenia, might help? When my boy was feeling bad post op and taking nasty meds he ate after taking the Cerenia.
Hope your baby gets well soon.

Willow is a doll baby. I will pray for her, you and your wife. I know this is so difficult for you all. Try some Greek yogurt with the boiled chicken the probiotics will be great for her and might entice her to eat more. Please keep us posted.

We went to the Vet today and he had us stop the Albon for 48 hrs. and started her vit B w/iron back. The Albon could be causing several of the symptoms she is having. Her pvc was a little low, but her other labs were normal.

This is what we used when Noah had parvo.

Beechnut is pure chicken, nothing added. 88 cents a jar....

Maybe her appetite will improve, too. I think of her every time I look at my baby.

MI Yorkielover · 10-16-2012, 11:39 AM

Bless her little heart. She is absolutely adorable. I hope she recovers very soon and feels better quickly.
