So is the way to tell for sure to put my finger in his mouth to see if I get suction? Also, do I need to tube feed them, or do you think I could bottle feed them? I'm so nervous to tube feed, but will do anything I can for these little guys too. ?? |
You can feel it with the underside of your pinky.
I've seen baby kitty with it. be careful...
See if you can open his mouth and look on top if he has a roof to the top of his mouth.I have never had to tubefeed yet...just bottle.
I think it depends how bad it is if you can even try bottle feeding..but not sure
I dread this too....its touchy...I wish I could be more help hun
