I see kevs got a way but we are using a mix Like "Complan" that is oatmeal and stuff with Vitamins that we shoot down his throat through a needleless syringe. His antibiotics are a little bit of a problem but crushed and mixed with a little milk goes in OK we are waiting for new stocks of Liquid meds so hopefully all will be OK. Can I say on this now G & G's once again, thank you all for your thoughts and encouragement Jack Morning All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah bin there Kev (Sonjack) Little bugger saves it up and spits it out later as I posted we have gone onto the "Complan" way we did for his Uncle, Apparently it swells in the Stomach and he gets what goodness he needs, Like us,Animals never realy need large meals but it is the contents that give the nutrients that are required. Saves on the Pooh output too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very careful Yes we are being but thank you for the Thought, The Vet has shown us the way to do it and as long as it is done that way it is Good, by restricting the air the Pup swallows as soon as he can so we can proceed and he can breath in between Shots.odd how animals seem to know whilst they don't want to eat they help in their own way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Peterson Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 Guess this will be my Last post on this Topic, Little man "Shadow" passed away in the night and we buried him this morning, sad day and many tears, what surprises me is how quick all this was , Saturday he was leaping about with the others and in a really naughty mood, Sunday he was lethargic and only ate a little (nothing after his breakfast) Monday he would not eat at all and he went to the vets, he perked up a little and was eating from a Spoon on Tuesday( Yesterday) Last night he refused even his mixture by Syringe Then my wife was shouted by the Younger of our helpers that "Shad" would not Wake up. He was as Stiff as a board so he must have gone earlier in the Evening. So it was Au revoir My little man Sad day to say the least. Thank You once again all that have contributed to this Tragic Topic & to "Old", Dan, Thank you for the mail this Morning Jack 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
