I bought Pedialyte tonite unflavored and got a syringe goes up to 2 tsp..... I gave Ruby 4 tsp. I really am just guessing....if you know how much please let me know. She is a collie so that gives you an idea of how big she is. Thanks who knows maybe this will help turn her around it is worth a try. Thanks.

Oh Marilyn, I am so sorry. You did everything you could. Ruby was ready. She was with you, her gift. And she was yours. I know how heartbreaking this is for you. You gave her the gift of being with her as she passed. Her light wilI guide you through your grief. She is always with you..


Hugs and love,

Oh no, I am so, so sorry. My thoughts are with you....you have been through so much, it just doesn't seem fair. Now you can concentrate on your husband, and know that angels are feeding Ruby treats and making sure she knows she's a good dog. Love, Pam & Tucker
Tucker was a shepherd/lab mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Took Diane's Enzymes 4 teaspoons/day, Wonderlabs B12 one capsule per day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/ morning (to hold SID at bay). Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 1 1/2 cups/day, with a total of 4 cups of Fresh Pet. Stopped eating everything in sight, and went from 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker was my boyfriend, and my husband was OK with that. Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma, but we cherished every day we had with that wonderful, beautiful boy. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.

Marilyn I'm so sorry about your sweet Ruby - I know how much you loved her - every post you posted over the years you could feel your love for her and she knew it and loved you as much back for it. Run free sweet Ruby. Hugs for you Marilyn.
