Hello i have pure breed chihuahua puppies, and i adore them so but i have been having Huge issues with them.....
They are pets only....and i will be flying to Aussie with them as I'm moving over there.
The white puppy is Deltoro, hes a great little man..But from the day i got him he wont eat and drink...Only on occasion he has, hes now 12 weeks old and was sold to be at 5 weeks and 6 days old. At that time i was under the impression he was 8 weeks old....Only later to find out they had lied on his paper work just so he could fly...Grrrrr that makes me very cross....
So anyway when i got him he would not eat nor drink i was off to the vets.....
I have been syringe feeding, and he welcomes this and licks it, just like the vet has shown..its now been ruffly 5 weeks of this not to mention runny poos 2 weeks agao with blood in it...im following the vets diet which has improve his poos.
he has no appetite really rarely he will eat unassisted...he is very small a long coat and the runt of his litter....The vet felt that he has arrived with giardia and he has been treated for that even tho the tests came back negitive this did make a huge improvement along with AD prescription dog food and peptosol...the vet felt it was garidia because my healthy female dog caught it....shes had runny poos and she had a wee bit of vomiting...she has recovered nicely with treatment...But he still has issues... The vet feels that it could be brain damage? going back on monday for more tests. Im feeling defeated in some ways...also hypoglocema is a issue...so i have to be so strick with his diet......
some days i think should i let him go, but the vet thinks no....I feel sorry for him when hes sick :0( etc...and happy when hes running around playing...:0)
I wondering if he will still be like this at the age he needs to be fixed up because i dont think he would survive ansethic....with what he has been going through...
What would you do in this situation....?
