keep trying with the food. give her a little at a time. i would put a little bit of bacon or hamberger grease on the food and mine would gooble it up. some people would not reccomend this but it worked for me.
i hope everything goes better for you. whelping is always scary. |
Thank You!!! Well this morning I cooked some rice and made sort of soupy but she wouldn't try until I brought it directly into her mouth
Maybe I just need to feed her by hand every meal, she looks kind of skinny to me, but she is back to her normal weight ( I wish I did that when I had my kids
) I guess it just worries me because she is my baby and I love her so much it would kill me if anything bad happened to her. The babies continue to go good, gaining weigh and eating like little pigs
even the smallest is getting fat
. Thank You for your support and yes whelping is scary more to me than to my Tinkerbell I think
