Hey guys,
My girlfriend and me adopted a little puppy from the street. Her grandma found 6 puppies (2 already dead) inside a plastic bag in front of the tire of her parked car. Since we wanted a dog anyways, we adopted one of the girls. Unfortunately she is very sick, so we took her to the vet, where they took a blood sample, gave her some medicine, infusions and kept her for two days. Unfortunately, while everything in Mexico is still pretty cheap, I now have to live with a mexican salary. So after already spending 2 month rent on the puppy at the doctor, I decided to take her home.
So for now, she is sitting in her little bed all day and doing nothing, except taking a very nasty smelling whitish diarreah shit every once in a while. She does neither eat nor drink, breathes very fast and heavily.
The only thing I am doing at the moment is feeding her a little bit of some suplement mixed with water through a plastic surenge every two hours, so she has at least some nutricion and let her rest. The doctor gave us some antibiotics, which I need to force down her throat. I owned a dog before, which luckily never was sick, but now I don't really know how to deal with it and hope to find some help here. Anything else that I can do that doesn't cost the world or should I just let her rest and hope for the best?
FYI, my little girl is probably some kind of Sheprador (Retriever/Labrador/German Sheperd Mix), although with a street dog you never know, what exactly is mixed in there. Maybe that helps.
Here is a picture of the poor little girl:
Thanks in advance for your help.
