Title: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: Curcross1987 on August 03, 2013, 05:52:45 pm Ok this is the gyp I thought I had breed turned out she did not take and she had got a infection and stopped eating any advice on some kind of medicine that will make or help her want to she has lost 10 pounds but she was probably that much to fat any suggestions is greatly appreciated
Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: Curcross1987 on August 03, 2013, 05:54:35 pm I forgot to mention the vet had to spay her to remove the infection
Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: MrsLouisianaHogDog on August 03, 2013, 06:59:32 pm Sounds like she had Pyometra?
Is she still on pain meds from being post surgery? If so, that could be upsetting her stomach. You can try giving her 10mg Famotadine (found in any drug store) thirty minutes before offering her food. Try pouring chicken broth over her kibble....see if that entices her... Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: Curcross1987 on August 03, 2013, 07:19:19 pm Yes it was pyometra she was still on antibiotics until 2 days ago I call the vet because it has been right at two weeks since she has ate they told me to take her off everything but she has ate a little meat scraps but not very much
Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: bigo on August 03, 2013, 09:35:43 pm All those antibiotics may have killed off all the good bacteria in her stomach. Mix this up and get as much down every day for a few days, half cup butter milk, quarter cup plain yogurt, quarter cup karo syrup and one raw egg. I got Big Ben to try it on a dog that quit eating and two days is all it took. Just make sure she dosen't still have an infection and give her what ever she will eat. Canned dog food haas allways worked well for me.

Have u tried a B12 shot to boost her appetite. Other than that all I know to do is big syringe and a tube down her throught into her gut and force feed her.
Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: Nathan83 on August 04, 2013, 12:09:02 am Think she might have parvovirus? Or just stress.
Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: MrsLouisianaHogDog on August 04, 2013, 02:11:23 am Yogurt is good, as well as ProBios which you can buy in the tube from any feed store.
The Famotadine is good because it settles their stomach, usually making them want to eat.... Is she hydrated? Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: hillbilly on August 04, 2013, 06:48:22 am yea is she drinking water. Keep some pedialyte down her or something similar to keep her hydrated.

Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: Curcross1987 on August 04, 2013, 10:22:14 am Think she might have parvovirus? Or just stress. I believe it just stress all her blood test are showing nothing is wrong Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: Curcross1987 on August 04, 2013, 10:26:34 am Dang. Have u tried a B12 shot to boost her appetite. Other than that all I know to do is big syringe and a tube down her throught into her gut and force feed her. I have some b 12 injection form but was told to give her the paste and I can't seem to find the paste how much of the injectable would y'all give or would y'all just find the paste Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: MrsLouisianaHogDog on August 04, 2013, 10:41:11 am IF you don't mind driving back up to your vet, you can ask them for a few cans of A/D. It's made by Science Diet. It's a very moist and very stinky canned food that we typically use for sick dogs that won't eat, that we have to force feed. It's PACKED with nutrients, and for some reason, the dogs ALWAYS seem to devour it, no matter how long they've been off feed. It's most definitely worth a shot, and it may very well get her back on track!
Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: Curcross1987 on August 09, 2013, 02:42:40 pm Thanks for all the advice after two weeks of not eating she has lined back out another couple weeks and she will be back in the woods hard and heavy
Title: Re: Need advice dog won't eat Post by: t-dog on August 09, 2013, 04:38:13 pm The probios is very good for this. I have a good friend that is one of the top Greyhound men in the world. When they get a greyhound that won't eat, they use jack mackerel. Just the cheap stuff from the grocery store. I did a loading dose of sorts on my dog. I gave two clicks on the dial everyday for 4 or 5 days then 1 click daily. I still feed probiotics but it's a powder. It's cheaper that way. Good luck.
