SICK BABY CHI I been trying to keep up with the Pedalyte for which he had 2 dropper fulls about an hour ago. I then crushed up this regular dry dog food and put with it a very small amt. of honey along with warm warm to help soften the food. He ate alittle but I feel he ate just the right amount under circumstances, hopefully, he will keep this down. Hopefully, he will keep this down and then I will take him in at Vets at 3p.m. for a shot. Vet assistant followed up with me this morning and told me just what 1 person had told me about not giving the Amoxicillan on an empty stomach as that would probably make him vomit. She told me if I wanted to try the liquid Amoxicillan fine or if I felt more comfortable in bringing him in for a shot or just to be checked that would be okay, also. We have Maple Syrup in the stores but I have none in the house at this time. He been urinating and even had a stool. He gives me kisses on and off. Goliath, like all our Chi and animals, are just so sweet no matter how badly they feel. Thanks for your concern and advise, much appreciated. Denise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Where are you? Only ask because of the maple syrup question. any supermarket will have it if you have none in but if you have honey in, it will work just as well. Rub it into his gums.Make sure you keep the water syringes up. Will he lap at all? The shot the vet will give will be antibiotics same as you're giving him orally but in an injection form. (I would have insisted on that right at the beginning) I think the shots that people have been talking about on this forum are vaccinations and the reactions to them. how is he now? has he been sick again? If he's not, have you tried him with a tiny tiny piece of steamed chicken? --- In [email protected], shirley osterholt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Has anybody heard of Maple Syrup as that was what this Vet told me to use?
