Went to th vet, went to check with Iwonka and we believe this baby is suffering frm a bad case of constipation and gas.

She was dehtdrated vet gave her 3ml sub-q and 30 mins later she was still badly dehydrated. Iwonka gave her 1.5 cc of the hydration solution orally. another 30 mins later I just now gave her another 1.5 cc of it. I have her right now on a heating cushion and am massaging her tummy every few minutes.

Iwonka suggested I give her some Gas-X. I need to know the dosage please...
she weighs 386 gr.

I'm so scared, please help.

With Gas-X or Kaopectate, I normally give just one little drop into the side of the mouth. I can look up a dosage for you if I have it, but this is what I've always done and it worked beautifully.

Maybe a good WARM soak in a bowl of water will help to break up some of the gas ???
