: get him hydrated ~ go slow
: (a cool mist humidifier for humans is *great* to use to increase humidity for him)
Thank you for the guidelines... it sounds like youve done this before... I have been hydrating him slowly.. I gave him 2 syringes of 10 cc of pedialyte the first night and one today.. i'll have to weigh him to get an approximation of how much to give...
I am gonna wait a day or two before I try the liquid veggie thing. lets see if he'll eat on his own. maybe he's just really stressed. if he dosent eat on his own i'll feed him
: a daily soak in a warm tub *if* it's not totally stressful for him ~ will encourage him to void ...
Ive been giving him a warm bath every day. he seems to like it.. I just have to hold him up so he dosent drown....
: you asked about amount of pedialyte per day ~ how *big* is the syringe??? 5cc, 10cc, go slooooow ~ very gradually increase over days so you don't overwhelm his system ... if possible, it'd be better to space the 'drinks' out to 3-4 :
I will get him weighed and cut back on his dosage of pedialyte and increase the times a day.....and i have been giving it to him warm
: at one point in his life, iZ was on a total liquid diet for 2 months ... (*sigh*)
wow it took 2 months before he would eat on his own???
not that i'd necessarily recommend *that* high of an amount of protein, but it got the calories in him when there was no other way ... (i'll look for my link + post it if you're interested)
yes please, im looking to read all i can...do you recommend if I make him the liquid salad that I put something very high in protien?
