She is very active and loves to play but if she dosn't eat or get fed every 2- 3 hours she get very weak, she also hardly ever drinks water. Any advice will be appreciated.
Note: Not catch up to her sisters in size I know that not going to happen, talking about the eating. |
I have a 4 1/2 month old at 1.2lbs and I mix blended Blue Buffalo puppy food with maple syrup and chicken baby food; when she doesn't want to eat I syringe feed her to make sure her tummy is always full. At least 3x a day.
Give her maple syrup 3-4x a day to keep her from becoming hypoglycemic. I leave water out beside her bed with her food and she drinks whenever she is thirsty she drinks water from her dish.
Hope that helps. Before bed I make sure she is full. Let her eat whatever she wants till she gets old enough then she will start eating on her own.
I don't think she will get larger than 3lbs.
Keep her and love her as I love my baby sooo much.
