We really didnt have any problems with fluid except every now and then when they were first learning to drink from the bottle; small amounts came
bubbling out their little noses but I would pull the bottle away and suck out the fluid best I could.

They are stronger than one would think, maybe your little one will get better each day...just keep an eye on him and let Mom do her best to feed him.

Yes, we lost the mom and one baby was still born; the water sac presented but after 45 minutes of no progress I took her to the vet, he said she had a very small pelvis for her size of 5.5 lbs. The babies were 4.0 4.5 5.0 and 5.5 she just couldnt have them. She died about 14 hours after the surgery, we dont know why but she never snuggled, licked, them and just barely looked their way...she was sicker than I knew. I felt really awful as breeding was my idea!

You might want to lay him head down when he is sleeping, anything to get that fluid out. (This is what they do immediately after c sections to get the fluid out of the lungs, not sure if it would help but dont think it would hurt??)

Good luck and hang in there!
