Title: Sick puppy......HELP. Post by: cantexduck on December 27, 2008, 12:12:27 pm I have a 8-9 week cur pup that is in bad shape. Bryant- it came from temple.
The last time she ate was on thursday. I brought her into the house yesterdau when some people were at the house. She is drawn up pretty good. She wouldnt drink any water either. I ran .5 cc of bleach mixed with water down her and then followed it with another 5-7 cc of water. It got her to crap and throw up. The stool was normal, it smelled like it always had. It was solid. The throw up was clear. Before I went to bed last night I forced water to her. He is in the bath tub right now. She did pee. It is the normal light yellow. Any ideas???? I normally feed raw(deer meat). I ran out on wed, fed diamond high energy on thr and fri. Title: Re: Sick puppy......HELP.

I've always had good luck mixing the dog food with warm water and baby cereal/formula... make kind of a paste out of it. Title: Re: Sick puppy......HELP. Post by: Boardog on December 27, 2008, 01:15:29 pm Mix a raw egg with some milk and surenge it down if she wont drink it.

Give fluids Sub Q ,if your able. You could also give some Nutri-Cal or Dyne High calorie liquid supplement to give your pup some nutrients. Try white rice and chicken broth to get the dog eating again. If you pup gets the runs and starts vomiting, I would start considering the possibility of something more serious.

Post by: Bryant on December 28, 2008, 12:00:49 am Question- You say the last time she ate was Thursday, but then you say you ran out of raw meat and fed diamond on Thursday and Friday? So...has the pup ate any diamond (kibble) at all?
Sometimes there finiky about changing feeds. If you've ruled out parvo, offer the pup a couple slices of lunch meat and see if it's being picky. Title: Re: Sick puppy......HELP. Post by: cantexduck on December 28, 2008, 11:35:56 am She did eat some kibble on thursday. I gave her pedi lyte and water sub q last through the night. I treated her for parvo by doing the pepto,gatoraid,water food method. She is doing better. I am not sure wat is wrong. She still will not eat on her own. She did lick alittle chicken broth and egg on her own. I have some raw chcicken tat I am going to try to get her to eat in a little while. Over all the sub q treatments seemed to really help her. She is very stand off natured to begin with so it is hard to judge her energy.
