She is so tiny and precious. I hope she starts to thrive so we can all watch her grow up. Tube feeding is nerve racking to me too but is something I think all breeders need to learn how to do. It is a good feeling when you learn how and you know that baby is alive today because you were able to tube it until it is strong enough to eat on its own.
