we started wetting down the baby's food (six weeks old) and offered her
1/2 teaspoon canned cat food on Friday and Saturday (she promptly took
her "kill" to her shoebox bed to eat it....), and today, we discover that
she's developed a pretty serrious case of diarreha.
Because she's sooooo small, I'm worried mostly about dehydration and her
loosing weight..which she can't afford to do. I suspect that--like most
any other animal--a change in diet will result in a change in poop and
will resolve itself. But what can we do to "help out" little Simmie?
Besides keeping cool, fresh H2O available? *Not* offering the canned
food? That sort of thing?
Any other suggestions? Things to look for?
