I got my Nutri-Drops from Revival Animal Health. I've never seen it available locally so I keep some on hand. From what I know, the main benefit of Nutri-Drops is how quickly it gets into their system. If all you can find is the Nutri-Cal, then use that. If your little boy is eating and not in immediate distress, that should help him along. The weight loss may be that he's not getting as much milk as you think even though he's nursing. With my little girl, I got right down on the floor up close and made sure she was actually working the teat and getting something before I relaxed a bit. She gained .5 oz. her first day and was showing a nice round tummy. She has gained every day except for today. She had no gain since yesterday but hasn't lost any weight either. I would try to make sure he gets a good meal from Mom but you don't want to wait too long and may want to supplement him to get him going. You really want to see a weight gain ASAP..a little one like that has no reserve. Good luck and keep a close eye on him...like constantly until he shows a gain. |
