In reply to the discussion: Tinkerbell has lost her struggle. RIP Tinkerbell. [View all]Bayard
(24,863 posts)28. Can you use a syringe or eyedropper to get some warm water into her?
You can also mix some warm water with the nutritional supplement others mentioned, or even some tuna juice. Just a tiny bit at a time, so it doesn't shoot into her lungs. She needs hydration and calories.
It is incredibly hard to lose our fur kids. Please keep us posted.

Thanks for the suggestion. She will not even lick drops of water on her paw, so I don't know if it will work ...

Thank you, I didn't even know such a thing existed! But she doesn't seem interested in licking it off.

I tried an eyedropper, but she wouldn't have it. I bought a nursing bottle today, and I *think* she took a little.
