I am almost inclined to think it is "fading puppy". i hope not. i know Frankie has had these extra tiny ones in the past and they have done well. It's just that I am fairly new to this and want to make sure I am doing everything possible to save her. |
If she's empting it, increase it to 2 cc and see how she does with that, if she takes all of that down, increase it more....when you stablize her weight, increase amounts and lengthen feeding time intervals....have you done the skin test to make sure she is hydrated? If the Esbilac isn't working you might want to switch to Just Born or Goats Milk with equal parts of water. Are you tube feeding her or bottle feeding her? Is mommy potting her?
I hope it isn't fading puppy...
