Dear friend,

 

I am so sorry your baby is ill. I do have some ideas.

 

Heart murmurs are graded 0ne to four:

The meds may be maing her nauseated. Lets try some baby food.

human baby food in meat flavours (check that there are no onions or garlic in the ingredients) and mix that with warm water and offer that, or syringe it in little bits into your dog's mouth. Beech Nut makes a line of baby food that has nothing but meat (beef, chicken, turkey or veal) in it. Here's a link: http://www.beechnut.com/Our%20Baby%20Food/Results.asp If you cannot find this, you could find another meat baby food - just read the label carefully to be sure there are no onions, onion powder, garlic, or garlic powder in it.

 

Boil chicken or beef - even liver as the scent of food cooking awakens the appetite sensor in the brain.

 

She needs to stay hydrated and her electrolytes balanced:

Try cut up and even blended chicken, beef liver etc.

 

Give her one tsp of plain yogurt daily.

 

Please let me know if she eats any of these things.

 

Best wishes and prayers for her,

 

Terri
