We love our 2 girls, they are actually biological sisters just 2 yrs apart. The older one plays mother to her sister. They are both 5 lbs now. You can see their picture in form " Lacey & Lindsey". They are always together, eat from a double sided food dish, and never had a fight. Lindsey was only 8 oz when we picked her up from the breeder, she had problems the first week with hypoglycemia, hypothermia and an upper respitory infection. Had to stay in an emergency hosp. for the first week. We only had her 4 hrs and all hell broke loose. Our vet put meds in her juggler vein as her other veins were too tiny. She made it thru the night and the week, what a fighter. When she came home from the hosp. I fed her a teas. of Baby Turkey food every 3 hrs. The breeder gave me the option to bring her back to her but the vet was closer and we didn't want her to die on a trip back to the breeder. The breeder did not charge us for her, we had that vet & hosp. bill to pay. I should of called the Atty General of NH on her but I was too busy caring for my baby. Lacey, her older sister really helped me to nurture her back to health. The "tiny" ones can have problems and I wouldn't wish what I had to go thru on anyone. But my husband and I agreed she would of died if we brought her back to the breeders, it was a timely matter.
Today they are 6 yrs old and 4 yrs old and still the best of sisters. They are our pride and joy babies ! |
