I'm so in love with Emma! She just tugs at my heart, which I'm sure you can understand why!
TeeTee never had mom's milk either and she was ok. My vet too was pushing surgery but I was too scared. Still am. I figured if she is doing fine the way she is...why fix something that isn't broke. So I ignored his constant wants to see her.
I used a premie nipple when I bottle fed, even as young as Emma is.
Emma is Tiny thats for sure. Tia didn't make it to a pound forever. I fed her round the clock, had someone come to the house while I went to work (when she was younger) and did this for 3-4 months. I didn't sleep in my bed that long cuz I was setting my alarm for every 2 hours! But it was so worth it and I'd do it again!
I couldn't part with her...as you can tell
I will be checking this thread often
