I would definitely let him nurse...it will be good for him to suckle her and I think it could even make him a little stronger. Does she lick and groom him when he nurses her...that is also very good for him. I have heard that babies who nurse work a whole lot harder for their milk than bottle babies. Plus it will make him fee special to have a "Yorkie Mamma" love him! I know his Human Momma loves him to bits and he sure is getting a lot of "Yorkie Talk Aunt's" rooting for him! I hope all goes well between now and Monday and that you get some good cooperation and support from your vet. Tube feeding can be very successful if done properly...I have never done it but know folks who have. Again, get some rest if you can. |
