My problem is that now she looks thin again and I can't get her to take the tube into her stomach. Last night no problem, the tube went and went and went. Today, I can't get it to go past her elbow. I can't remember because I have had so little trouble getting tubes to go down but isn't the measurement to the bottom of their ribs? Thanks, Sylvia |
I'm sorry I have never had to tube feed. You might post on the breeder forum. Good luck with your baby.
