She drinks from a.water bottle and eats hard kibble. I bottle fed her until almost 4 months. She was half the literate size and now she is normal size. They do catch up. Everything is just slower. It sounds like you are doing good. Go to the leerburg website and use that formula to feed. It has more calories per cc. I used this to raise Tia. Good luck. You can do it!!!! |
it's so nice to hear something nice one here..i'm taking samson to my new vet the other 1 was a vet on call and i don't like this vet but i had to go see them in emergency..i weigh him before and after a feeding..i was up at 6:30 for another feeding i weighed him then put him back in and he was feeding off of the mother before i could get his food so i thought i would wait and weigh him when he was done he was 17.60gr before and after 17.75gr so i thought he got some will feed him after which i did at 9:00 the vet asked me when he feeds any milk come threw the nose ..no is he coughing or sneezing a lot...no..did tia do this when she was small i'm gonna try this mon they will be 4wks on sunday wet puppy food mixed with the milk replacement but i will look up that website..all the vet noticed was his roof of his mouth is shaped wider then scooter his brother..did you buy tia off of a breeder that way or did you breed and keep her..i only wanted to breed chloe once and keep a girl..there would of been 4 she had 1 dead inside her but pushed him out..then the girl i was keeping died 3 days later why i don't know i took her to the vet he didn't know and didn't think to look at the roof so who knows..if samson has this hopefully i don't need the operation cause i heard it's pricey and i've sunk 1600.00 so far in this breeding process and no i'm not doing it again lol,between the stud services,x-ray to find out how many pups and was told only 3 and 2 emergency vets,dewclaws,tailed docked and first shots yup 1600.00 but i was a first time at this i bred my siberian husky once and kept a male and they were so self sufficinet nothing like these small breeds hopefully you'll answer questions at the beginning of this letter and thanks again keep in touch
