I know how stressful dealing with a tiny must be though I've never had that experiance. My one litter of four were all between 5-6 ounces at birth. It sounds like he is a fighter since he is gaining and nursing. Keeping him warm is an absolute must, so do whatever it takes. The "sock sweater" sounds like a good idea along with the heating pad. Alone feeding time with mom is also important IMO with such little guys, maybe along with supplementing him with a bottle also. Just be sure he is not chilled at all before feeding him!
I will keep this little guy in my prayers and will check back for updates. (((HUGS))) to all of you. |
