Well I hate to say this, (because I hate to jinx myself) but Tia is doing great!
I stopped bottle feeding her yesterday
Only because I know she has to start doing it herself. She's eating Chicken Soup for the puppy lovers soul. BUT - she seems to only want to eat from my hand the little bugger. So I'm still feeder her out of my hand. She don't touch the food in her playpen.
Or I'll let her run around the room with her mom and put the bowl on the floor and if mom eats it she will too. She doesn't chew it, she swallows it whole. Soft food makes her gag. I've seen her take water. She's weighing 1.4. YAY. She looks better. She's not chubby yet but at least a tiny bit filled out more.
Since she's been doing better I'm letting her play with her brother, who is triple her size. But she puts up a good fight with him and has made him cry on more than several occassions! I thought since she was getting stronger that she needs to have that interaction with her brother since I've had her seperated from the others for so long. She loves it. I'll have to post an updated picture. She's a tiny little bugger.
I haven't had her to the Vet yet and I plan to do my own shots. Probably when she gets closer to 2 lbs. My vet was eager to see her, already talking surgery, but I'm going to avoid the surgery as long as she is ok. From what I've read they can live a normal life without the surgery. Hopefully she will! She's sooo cute!
So my fingers are crossed that she continues to do well without any complications. So far so good
