Thanks, ladies, for the moral support. My hat is off to anyone that's ever been through this before. I've had tinies before but never a pup that didn't thrive from day one. I just finished a feeding and my littlest one took in a bit more than she has before. I'm using a 1cc eyedropper to feed them and her intake up til now has been between 1.5 to 2 cc plus a few drops of beef liver broth. This time she took in about 2.5 cc plus the broth. I'm afraid to up the volume too quickly on her but if she does well, I'll try to slowly increase the amount. One question about the beef liver broth. Everything I've read says to feed about 4 drops per feeding but the recipe is not very specific about making the broth. I'm sure the strength of it determines the amount to feed. What I made has about the color of chicken broth. Would this be considered weak, strong or just about right? If it's weak, I could increase the amount I give them but I don't want to overdo it. I'd appreciate any input about this. Jim |
