[speaker001:] Cos it won't make any difference. There's nothing in there that there isn't in straight lemonade.
[Pete:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Mhm.
[speaker001:] Right. Er every now and again a wee sugar cube. Open her mouth and just let her suck it.
[speaker002:] Give her a bit of energy.

[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] a small teaspoonful of this stuff
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] just in the corner of her mouth. Don't force it down, just in the corner of her mouth. She'll swallow that down nice and gently and it'll coat her tummy and it will gradually work its way through into the bowel and quieten them down as well.
[speaker002:] Is this the medicine you're giving her?
[speaker001:] Yes. Yes.... Ju as long as you don't overload her. This is
[speaker002:] Aha.
[speaker001:] this is the one thing that her system can't stand.
[speaker002:] It's when they retch er
[speaker001:] That's right. They try to empty what it is in their stomach and it
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] just comes out.
[speaker002:] That's what I was doing last night.
[speaker001:] Yeah. Well... just out to the shop and get some ice-cream or make a table jelly when you go home.
[speaker002:] Mhm.
[speaker001:] And just have a little of it every half hour? Every hour? If you feel like it.
[speaker002:] Aha.
[speaker001:] It doesn't matter what the flavour is whether it's strawberry, orange anything.
[speaker002:] Okay.
[speaker001:] Er quite a good thing is this er sorbet stuff.
[speaker002:] Yeah. Mhm.
[speaker001:] It's nice is that. It has a tang, so that youngsters particularly, quite, quite like the taste of it because they don't taste anything all their taste buds
[speaker002:] Mm.
[speaker001:] if you look at her tongue. Pure white.
[speaker002:] Mm.
[speaker001:] Her taste buds are all covered. Can't taste anything.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But if you can get them with just a, an orange or a lemon sorbet. Just a wee drop of that instead of the ice-cream
[speaker002:] Mhm.
[speaker001:] they can taste it.
[speaker002:] Mhm.
[Pete:] Yeah. She hasn't been eating and that's unusual
