 He will not nurse the other mom. It is like he knows.  As soon as I put him back with his mom he sucks like crazy.  I started feeding him with a dropper last night to help.  He sucks it really good and seem like nothing is going into the lungs.  I am at a lose here. He seems to be strong but still has not gained any weight.  He will be 5 days old today.
 
 I am open to all and any suggestions!

  Hey...  I would feed him maybe every 2hrs.  My little girl is 8 oz. now by my scale...by the vets is 6oz.  She gains maybe 1oz or so a day. She is now 5 days old & weight 5.1 @ birth. She is a fatty and looks like a rat when you can't see her head.   
He has to gain weight daily.  Very important...
