Hi everyone,
Please help. My poor Charlie went to the vets wednesday for suspected ringworm - however, the vet gave him an antibiotic as well. Charlie has had a bad reaction to the antibiotic and has had the runs and been really sleepy (he was ok at first but went down hill friday). I took him back to the vets this morning and have been given food, prebiotics and some rehydration stuff to give him.
I'm sposed to syringe feed him this food - which I try to do every few hours but he just spits most of it out, or wont swallow so it just squirts out the other side of his lips! I'm so worried he's not getting enough food and water to get the 'will to live' back. How can I try to get more food/water in him? I can't bear to see him slipping away
