Be prepared for a night of no sleep & keep trying to get a drop in at a time maybe.
You might be unsuccessful like I was, but if its only a drop it might not be noticed as much. Specially if its water, I was trying to get abs into DD2.
Beema, how is your little one going this morning? I have to be honest, it already sounds like she is pretty dehydrated now. If she doesn't improve by today, I would strongly suggest taking her to be seen and assessed as to whether she needs to have some IV fluids or an NG tube for rehydration.
Yeah i'd have to agree with Schmickers. Unless you've gotten some fluids into her, i'd take her to the hospital. Dehydration isn't something to mess around with, it can be really scary. IF she's not taking stuff oraly she will need a drip and they will put a bag on her (not a catheder.. it just sticks onto her girly bits) to monitor her wee and probably test it too. Hopefully she is MUCH better this morning though!
Thankyou for your messages, a bit of an update overnight.
She had a little bit of water overnight, since 4pm yesterday (we have used the same water bottle to get an idea on how much) we have gotten about 80ml, enough to keep her mouth wet, so just one sip at a time. We tried the hydrolyte blocks and she wouldn't give them a shot, we are defrosting one and putting it in one of her water bottles to see if she will drink some by accident. She had about a teaspoon of oats and yogurt, which she then gagged on and we got to see again :roll: DH event ried a twistie and got excited and sent me a message to say she had eaten, some, but unfortunately by the time I replied that too had returned, so we aren't going to bother with the food.
Her nappy was damp this morning so we know that something is getting through, even if it was 14 hours.. and usually she would have exploded out of the dippy with the amound she usually pees
Would be nice to be able to get meds into her, but can't even get near her with a syringe of any sort, and we are looking at going down the suppositry path...
Hopefully she gets a bit more fluid into her during the day, any suggestions on how much we should aim for, the hyralyte says for her age 1 evey 60min, which is 62.5ml, if we can't get that much into her of either the water or hydralyte should we take her in?
She is very pale and lethargic, but she has managed a few smiles.
