Question

Answer
Jerilynn,

Sometimes when they don't feel well they don't want to drink.  That's good to give her pedialye in water.  Use a syringe if necessary.  Nutri-cal will stimulate her appetite and energy too.  She may just have an upset stomach doesn't sound like she has a blockage or anything like that.  Just don't let her get dehydrated and if you need more help please write to me.
