Her momma had a c-section and would not take the baby, we had to hold her down to let the baby nurse for the first time and still she tried to bite it, so we took her away after we let her get some of the first milk by holding her down.
We tried the rubbing the bottom and that worked for the first week or two and now it doesn't, she did go to the bathroom yesterday, the vet told us to try her on pumpkin or baby rice cereal, and give her 1/4 tsp of mineral oil every 12 hrs. that is what I have been trying and she went yesterday, I just hope that keeps working. thanks for the comments.
