Feed her "real" food, and also feed the good fats that will help with her weight and not cause pancreatitus, such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and you can also give her raw grated carrots, steamed green beans and broccoli. Also give her Nutri-Cal every day.
My baby who is 9 months old today is also only 3 pounds, 3 ounces and is going thru tests due to a liver problem, but it isn't a liver shunt. We will keep getting her blood tested to see if the count goes up and up and if so then she will need a liver biopsy to see what's going on.
