I was told to give the those small meals every 6-8 hours. I will do so again, but I want her to get some nutrients in her and then ease it up to maybe 1/8 of a cup. I was given permission just a bit ago to do every 3-4 hours, so that's a huge relief. Her pain let up the second her bowels were relieved, and her whining is now gone. Her problem is now she's just so dang tired and hungry. she's curled up in bliss on my husband's chest, and the shivering stopped about 15 minutes after he meal and the karo syrup.

I'm looking now at your PM.

P.S. I did get a second opinion, lol. I'm not laughing because it's funny. I'm just so tired and thankful that my girl seems to be on the mend.

Yes 3 to 4 hrs is the norm. You can also give a bit of canned pure pumpkin if she gets constipated again. As long as you feed 3 to 4 hrs you don't need the Karo & the sugars can add insult to the pancreas.
