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?
