Won't eat My Yorkie has kidney failure and is on special medicine and prescription dog food. She was diagnosed in October and so far things are OK with the kidney. She now has a stomach problem and the vet has given her a B12 shot because she is anamic, other shots and I have medicine for her. She only weighs 3 pounds and now is refusing to eat and we have to force her medicine down her. She is getting weaker and losing weight. We had a lot of tests run yesterday and the vet says she has a gastronic (spelling?) infection. Does anyone out there have any suggestions or have had this happen to them? I can't give her any other food because of the kidney problem. |
I remember years ago when I was sick, the Dr gave me B-12 shots & it took my appetite away. I hope this isn't the cause. Keeping your little one in my Prayers. |
I don't know much about the condition, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry that you guys are going through all this. Are you trying to feed her canned food, or dry food? When Miko was a pup and very sick, they put him on prescription canned food, and he refused to eat completely, he was already too little and basically according to the doctors, dying. We weren't going to let that happen, so we had to mix water with the food enough so that we could feed him with a syringe. Even though it was against his will, it was for his own good. As time went on, and he got better, he started eating on his own, but it took some time, so be patient. If you have to feed her with a syringe, then do it. Good luck with your baby and I hope your baby girl starts felling better! |
