Is the baby boy .26 oz or 2.6 oz??? Did the vet give him a bolus of fluid under his skin???? What do the gums look like??? Are they white or pink???
My littlest dropped to 2.4 oz and I did have to handel her with extra care. Use a eye dropper to feed him. Let him nurse but then feed him also. They do get tired real easy and will stop nursing after a few minutes cause they just don't have the energy. I would definitely do feedings every 2 hours. If mom has not pushed him away and is still taking care of him then I feel he still has a strong chance. Just needs a big helping hand. Don't know where you are at but if you are in or near Texas I can help you.
Sending lots of prayers your way!!! |
