can you get some one to show you how to tube feed... that is what I do.. then i know how much they are getting.. doing this every two hours will ensure they will survive if being tiny is the only problem they are having.. a vet will show you how.. I carry what I need with me at all times..
My gracie is here with us today as I tube fed her for two week night and day every two hours.. we started at midnight one night.. then went to bed.. set the clock for just before two and did this again.. if I can help in any way.. I will surely try... we woke at the 4 am feeding one morning and she was suckling.. so we just watched her after that.. but when i held her on the teat. she would only suckle for a minute and then wanted to sleep 4 hours.. she was dehydrating.. so this was to me the best way to keep her alive.. my vet did not think she would survive.....
