I'm feeding her pumpkin, baby sweet potato and chicken, along with a few small pieces of boiled chicken breasts and a few drops of karo added to this mixture. I have on hand Nutri-cal & nutri-drops. I give her a drop or two of nutri-drops in the morning and evening. Am I doing everything possible to make sure she thrives? Can I do more or change any of the above? Your help is always appreciated.
Thank You! |
When I got my Jasmine a few years back... she weighed 1 pound 11 ounces at 7 months old. I didn't think she ate enough so I would give her syringes full of yogurt or chicken/turkey baby food. (I think it was really more for ME... just so I knew she was eating something). I always left the dry food out for her.
Now she is 3 1/2 pounds. Just the right size for her body type.
She never had hypoglycemic episodes though.
Wishing you all the best.
