Dear friend,

If your baby swallowed pond water she can have bad bacteria inher system. Get plain yogurt and give her a teasppon every day.Also put two drops of pancake syrup right onher tongue as yorkies get hypoglycemic very easily.

See if she will eat cottage cheese, boiled chicken or chop meat. If she won't - get a jar of chicken baby food (no seasoning) - water it down to a gruel and feed her with a dropper til she eats by herself. Also get a botthle of plain pedialyte to relace her electrolytes.

Please let me know how your baby is feeling and if you have any more questions. I am happy to help in any way possible.

Very sincerely,

Terri
