> Thank you **nearwildheaven** I am familliar with the magic of pumpkin, and I have that. I was just curious if anyone had experience with something like banana or applesauce. My mind is just racing is all. I just gave her 20ml sub cu fluids (every 6 hours) and at 11:00 I get to try to get her meds down her via syringe. I hope that, if we both make it through the night, that it will become easier to get her meds down her.

Made sure you buy plan canned pumpkin and not pie filling b/c that not good for dogs . Have you tried unsweetened applesauce , most dogs like apple.
