Welcome and congrats on your new baby.
She is too young to be taken away from her mommy. I am glad to see how much you care about her. If at any time you suspect Hypoglycemia check her gums, lift her lip up on the side of her mouth and look at her gums. White or pale is a sign of low blood sugar, get some nutrical, pancake syrup, white kayro syrup in her mouth ASAP. Not a lot too much is not good either. Dip your finger in it and rub it on her gums or her tounge. Bright pink gums is a good sign. You can also add some sugar to her water BUT you MUST change it every 2 hrs otherwise it will grow bacteria and make her sick which can result into another problem. Right now you need to make sure she eats every 3-4 hrs no matter what. If she doesn't eat on her own you will need to syringe feed her baby food, the plain chicken baby food. If it gets to the point you may want to call your vet.

Good luck!
Irene
