So far the first feeding with the formula (minus vi-dayLin drops) has gone well and she is napping. Wishing I could have that "board talk" now. She didn't want to take much and I figured with the trip here (little over an hour) I would let her go since she did eat and hold down what I gave her. I'm also wondering if they were over feeding her using a dropper which caused her to vomit from overeating (human baby knowledge lol).
Thank you again! |
Yes!! I had my patio cover almost fall down this afternoon....30 feet by 12 feet pergola.....so my brain is miss-firing a little! Just Born is correct! Be very careful feeding with a dropper....pup can EASILY aspirate and end up with milk in its lungs = aspiration pneumonia! Small frequent feedings is much better than too much at one time, because of the aspiration issue......
Great with your first feeding! They love the taste of the formula....did she lick it from a saucer....start with a saucer because she has no concept of "DEPTH", like depth of a bowl...her little tongue will go along the saucer and she can learn how to lick up from that.....try the solid mousse mixed with a little of the formula and see how pup does...all new so may take a few times...she may just lick that mousse off your finger tip....work real hard to teach her to LICK the formula from a saucer...
You can put her on your shoulder after you feed her and burp her just like a baby, gently patting her little back.....that will help keep the feeding down.....
