Feeding a sick dog

[Corzhens]

When your dog wouldn't eat, here is a soft diet that you can hand feed to your dog. Boil a cup of rice in 4 cups of water. After boiling for 2 minutes, get the liquid and place in a cup. Add a dash of salt. When cooled, add an egg yolk.

You can use a syringe to hand feed the liquid diet to your dog. That is very nutritious with protein and carbohydrate. And with our dogs, that diet is very effective.

We often also feed our pup mashed sweet potato or mashed pumpkin when he's feeling unwell. Apparently according to our vet, it works on either end of the spectrum of stomach upsets - plus he just likes the taste which is an added bonus!

Thanks a mill. Always welcome tips for my girls. There is one here who will never not eat. She is so greedy.......
