I have both esbilac and just born. I didnt' know which to use. I tired both with the babies... is that safe. The funny thing is that when I asked the vet they confused me even more. I guess they dont want to put down one product and encourage another.
So far the babies are doing well. The runt doesn't seem to be growing at all even though we feed him almost every hour. They sleep longer today then they did yesterday and last night. i haven't slept in 48 hours.
I'm on a caffine high! I stimulate the bablies with a cotton ball and I hold tolet paper to their little wee area to make sure they pee. I've also been letting mommy do the stimulations.
Fiona is doing well, except for her panting which the vet says if mostly likely stress and I shouldn't worry about anything unless I feel muscle tremors. Fiona is in a onse and diapers to make sure the babies can't get through.
I have four helpers helping me with the babies. Is it normal for female puppies to eat less than males???
I have a really hard time trying to get the female to take to the bottle she wont drink any of the esbilac on the just born.
this is their weight today
fatty (the one that eats the most) is 5.2 ounces
female is 5.7 ounces
The runt is 3.7 ounces
Black one is 5.3 ounces
I am really worried about the runt! Should I add stuff to the formula?? I am so scared to but I think it would be for the best I just dont know what or how. The vet told me to just stay with just formula. But I am willing to try anything that would help the babies grow and gain weight.
Thank you for all the advice!
