  I mix a bit of baby food meat, with baby food rice cereal. I use the rice 
cereal because it is vitamin fortified, and the water you mix with the cereal 
will help keep you baby hydrated. Raul will eat that combination when he will 
eat nothing else. If there is a bowl problem involved with his illness, I mix 
in a dollop of pumpkin.

    Has anybody heard of Maple Syrup as that was what this Vet told me to use?  
I tried the Honey but he wouldn't have anything to do with it.  
    I realize keeping him from getting dehydrated and having Hypoglcemia is an 
absoulute I wonder when he will be able to eat and keep food down as he is 
sooooooooooo very very hunger, at this point.

      I agree with everyone else re the need for rehydration. Use a syringe 
      if neccesary. Also, it might be an idea to rub the gums with a tiny bit 
      of honey or jam if you have no honey. It's usually just enough to keep 
      Hypoglycemia at bay. Having had a chi who had diabetes but still lived 
      to age 14 I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to Hypoglycemia so my two 
      new pups get a tiny amount of honey first thing in the morning after 
      they've had a night of about 10 hours without food. I know it's not 
      strictly neccesary but to be honest it makes ME feel better.
      Also to be honest I'd have gone to a different vet and asked for a shot 
      if he wasn't keeping the anti biotic down.

      How is he now?

      Re pedialite we don't have this in the UK but it sounds really handy 
      to have in. Do any English members know of a UK equivalent?
