Wow - after reading your last post I got pretty emotional. It sure has been one heck of a ride. We've been thru alot of the same things. As much as I love Tia to death......I just don't know if I could do this again. I just don't know!
I skipped a feeding last night. I felt bad!!! She didn't touch ANYTHING! So when I came back with her bottle she had licked some from her bowl. I fed her breakfast - she was starving, as I skipped her 3am feeding. I left more formula with her when I left for work, came home at lunch to feed her and she had licked that too! Mind you I use tiny gerbil dishes and only pour in a layer of formula but I'm hoping this is a start???!!! She gags when she drinks on her own and she hates that. I hope she learns to handle it. So I left more for her. We'll see if she drank that when I get home. Still not touching food yet. But I guess, 4 licks of formula are better than none, right?
You explained it perfect......skin and hair over bones. She's so scary looking! She's crazy skinny. Then she has these big dark awesome eyes. I love them. When she laying agains my stomach while I'm feeding her and she looks up at me while she's eating I just melt!
The pups are 7 weeks now. Should I wait to vaccinate her? I'm scared to get her shots. How long can I wait for everyone?
Where she gets this energy is beyond me. She's so funny. She trys to play but she's alot different than the others. I don't let her play with them. They are seriously 4 times if not more her size. She doesn't bark like them either. Actually she doesn't bark. She whimpers and it sounds like a munchkin from the wizard of Oz. I read somewhere that human babies with this it can cause speech issues. I wonder if its the same in animals. The other pups bark and whine all the time. She's quiet.
She likes to bite at my face and nose. Its funny to see how serious she looks about it.
I give her special time with her mom. I let her out to run in the room with her since she's completey seperated from the other pups. If she see's me though, she comes right to me. She has to be right on you, at all times! She's never tried to nurse mom either. I thought when she got older she may try. But nope. I'm the food source
Well, I think thats all I have to report......
OH! I tried honey. No big change. She didn't go crazy over it but I'll still use it. I'm putting nutrical in each bottle of my high cal formula.
