I am so sorry you have to go through this scary situation. Tube feeding is fine I'm told (I have no experience in tube feeding). Does the mother want to nurse? You could also try laying an eye dropper next to her teat to see if they will take it that way. Also, is there another Vet or an emergency Vet you can call and talk to? Our emergency vet and regular vet never charges us for a phone call and have always been quite helpful. Hopfully some others with more experience will be able to help you.
