I use rice and a little buillion for flavour when my little ones are sick... They also love bananas and they help firm them up...
So glad to hear he's doing well.
Yes... bananas are a good option too. You can mix a little in his rice.
Pumpkin seems to be mainly a US thing... Pumpkin Pie. Very American.
Since he's eating so much, make sure to give him very small amounts often. Eating too much in one setting could cause the runs. He may not have been eating much at the vet's.
Michelle thanks I'm glad he's been sleeping around an hour without having to run to the hall ....xxAuntie Barbara I think I was the change over moving home too ... Yes I've been scrubbing cream carpets all day !!!! xx
Tori I tried bananas he won't touch them unfortunately ... It's shame .. Yeah just little and often I've been giving the chicken and rice .. Il take him to vets just for a check tomorrow it's tiring being a mum sometimes xx

nooo we have pumpkin here in Canada toooo!!!!! I dont live in an igloo and drink maple syurup............ LOL! ok mabey the maple syurp LOL!!!! nahhh I will send you some pumpkin in the mail I love pumpkin
You could also temporarily use a canned food made by Hills called ID---I would give him about a tablespoon every 2 hours to start with---if the stool firms up keep him on that for a while & then slowly, slowly, slowly transition to his chicken & rice. Also when you cook the chicken be sure to pour off any grease.
I did that w/Kitzel and it really did the trick!
Hi sandi it seems to be better now well better as iin its not running out of him now ... I boil his chicken is that okay for him ? Xx thanks I know I'm a pest he has been trying to hump my arm and leg all night the wee monkey he is !!!! Xx
I am not sure where to purchase Hill's food in Scotland---try the vet first. I can buy it here at the local pet shops too. Kitzel tried to poison himself when he was young so I always keep a few cans in the cupboard in the event of an emergency. I don't use it otherwise.
Yes, boiled chicken is the best.
And you are not a pest in the least!
Aww thank u xx poison himself ?!!!! How ?!!!! Oh ma goodness !xx well he's been a little monkey tonight I only keep hoping it's all going t go better and better !!! Xx how is it n Greece anyways sandi ? Hows your babies ? Are there a lot of matese n Greece ? Xx
It is a story I hope to never have to tell again! Let's just say that we are blessed to still have the little guy!
Greece is like most other places---both good & bad! The whole financial crisis has things in a big mess at the moment---those who are not on strike today will be tomorrow! :smilie_tischkante::smilie_tischkante: But the weather is fantastic most of the time. B)
There are a fair number of maltese in Greece, but mostly poorly bred---larger than breed standard. Everyone asks me if mine are "minis?"
Awww sandi ... I've been to Zante a few years ago n Greece in Zante town it was lovely nice harbour with lots of boats xx I was in Tenerife in July this year tree was lots of malteses there tats what me go for the breed I fell I love with one there !! Xx
Hi Lyndsy, just checking to see how Albert and you are doing. Hopefully he continues to improve, will continue to keep him and you in my prayers. :grouphug:rayer::grouphug:
Hi Debbie he stopped leaking poop and only went to the toilet once last night which was good !! He's asking his meds well so we just hope and pray he keeps it up tanks so much auntie Debbie Albert gives kisses xxx
Tracey and Ben thanks so much for your prayers and kind words xHi Barbara his diahorrea is slightly better today not no where near as often but boy does it stink !! And it is yellow due to the meds !! ... My cream carpets are getting ruined !!xx
Sandi it's been another long night checking what he's upto every two hours as he doesn't want to sleep on my bed anymore he likes the floor .. Don't now why he always loved cuddles and bedtime ... I took him a walk in the fresh air I Carried him though .. He liked that .. I'm stuck n the house for past few days just running after him but I love him and it's not his fault I just feel so sorry for the little man xx
So happy his tummy is a little better. I think Albert will want to be cuddled and sleep with you again once he feels better. Things will get back to normal soon....just hang in there. You did a great job and I can imagine how tough it is to clean your light colored carpet. Hugs to you and Albert!! :hugging:
Lyndsy, just wondering if you can confine him to the kitchen during the day when you are home so the carpets won't take such a beating! I am in the kitchen most of the day w/my two any given day. They have the run of the hallways, the kitchen, and the study. Our kitchen opens onto a large back balcony which they enjoy when the sun is out. They are small so don't need that much space really. Sometimes at night we put on their "pants" and let them into the living area where we have Persian rugs---they love it, know it is special & can run, run, run & play!
I think it is good for you to get out & carry little guy---for both of you!
I, too, think he will revert to wanting to be cuddled when he is well. When Lisi got her rabies shot & reaction she did not want to be touched either---now she is a cuddle bug again.
As I only have a really small flat it is hard . He cries and cries if he is confined to any space he just hates it And is getting better slowly .. I will get my vax carpet cleaner out tonight and scrub all the carpets .. Your house sounds amazing sandi !! Persian rugs wow .. They wear pants like diapers ? Awww cute ., oh I hope he wants his cuddles again soon ... Barbara thanks for the carpet support he he if the vax cleaner doesn't shift it il have to replace the carpets !! ... I've just boiled more chicken up and rice for wee man he enjoys that ..
Sandi how can I stop all the people coming up to Albert and fussing over him while he's poorly without having to stay in ... Xx
Just tell them he's poorly just now and he doesn't like being touched. Sammy still nips on me (although I think it's only me he does it with) and people always try and fuss over him when we are out but I just tell them he can sometimes nip so to be careful with him.
Yeah il just try saying he's no too well but some are so daft they fuss him anyway I had one today say oh I'd just of put hm down its not fair on him putting him through an illness I was mad !!! Grrr .., he doesn't nip at all anymore with us or anyone he just looks and wags his tail xx
