thank you for taking the time to read this. i appreciate it
Has anything changed, particularly temperature? I had one get chilled and stop eating for a while. Have you seen it drink? Activity level? Going to the bathroom? If any of these things have changed you may want to change it back and/or see a vet. One thing to try is to mix baby food with Pedialyte and feed with an eyedropper or small 3cc syringe to make sure it is getting fluids. Drop it on the end of the snout and or smear along the lip. Usually they will lick it off. If you fear an intestinal blockage my vet recommends a green vegetable such as strained peas. I've seen bananas and meat based baby food used too. Roughly 1/2cc every 5-6 hours. Keeping it warm and quiet is important. Good Luck.
