So it's been a little more than a week since my baby stopped eating. I felt that it was dehydration so I gave baths and gave him drops of water on his head until he stopped licking it up. But that didn't help.
Just a couple days ago I took him to the vet. They did a check up and gave him a shot and gave me some medicine to give him along with a syringe and some food to assist feed him. After that vet visit he hasn't been the same. His beard and neck are dark but not jet black. He just sits in the same spot all day. I give him squash baby food and the food the vet gave me which has a lot of protein in it as I can see from the labeling. But until I can get him to poop something other than just urate so that the vet can do a test on it, I'm stuck having to syringe feed my poor guy every day.
He's been so stressed since the vet visit and having to put a syringe in his mouth to give him his meds doesn't help with that either. For the food I just put it on his mouth and he just licks it up so that doesn't stress him at all.
But now it's just a waiting game to see how he gets. He's just a little baby and he looks so skinny and I feel so bad. His stressed has rubbed off on me and I can say without a doubt this has been an extremely stressful week. I don't want to lose the little guy
