I took my tiny one to the vet, she'd gotten not only low in weight but not moving much and I was sure she was fading. When we got to the vets, of course she perked up lol. She weighed an ounce on their scale. she was not dehydated, her vitals looked good. The vet said she was just tiny and some tiny ones don't make it. I told him I want to learn how to tube feed. I knew this, IMO, was what was needed, as my girl would only suck for a little while and tire her weak self out. Thankful he taught me. She got through that period, gained strength and is a healthy 15 ounces at 4 1/2 weeks old.
Just wanted to share how my little one made it. Warmest thoughts for the little one |
