My fiance and I are the proud owners of a little 9 week old ruby. We have recently had some problems with her. On Sunday morning we woke to find her unable to stand. Her tongue was hanging out of her mouth and her jaw was jammed together. We immediately rang the vet and took her in. Thankfully she is ok in most respects. However, the vet was really concerned about her weight and size. She hasnt grown since we got her, which is 2 weeks ago. She weighs just about 1 kilo. The vet has told us to feed her 5 times a day with chicken, nuts and rice. The breader we bought from told us not to feed her chicken even if a vet tells us to. However, when your little precious puupy is not well and a vet tells you to do something its hard to do otherwise. Since we started feeding her this she is always looking for food and goes crazy when we feed her.
We were originally instructed to feed her 6 nuts 4 times a day for a week and then increase it to 12 nuts 4 times a day. When we increased the amount she had diarrhoea. We reduced to 8 and she was fine again.
We are desparate to get her weight up and would appreciate any advice, especially from people who have been through the same.
