OMG - Fifteen Weeks 1/2 pound!!

[chachi]

Wow she is itty bitty. Im glad shes turning the corner and hope she continues to do well

Im wanting to but a bracelet for MY Mil but Im kinda confused about how this works do you buy the case and the glass face separate or do they come together

Sell her to Paris Hilton for $10,000. (Yes, I am being sarcastic). I think you should keep the little one to avoid anyone trying to breed her/him. Sounds very sweet and special. Good luck.

I have kept my tinies....I do not think there are that many people that are completely comfortable with or knowledgable about all the very special requirements for those tinies. One minor oversight can easily cost a life. When they are that small, there are seldom "second chances" to get it right!

We pulled her from the litter at that time. I now have only 1 sister left and she and Tee are bunkmates. They do well together, even though her sister is much bigger (almost 2 pounds).

Has a vet determined a cause? Does she have a defect in her digestive system, or some other problem? So strange that she started out the same then just didn't thrive. Hopefully you have pulled her through the worst and now she will continue to improve.

Keep us posted. I always enjoy seeing your posts, you have a lot of good knowledge to share. We miss you around here.... Don't stay away, ok?

That's my worry. Frankly, I don't feel qualified for one this small. I've raised a couple that only grew to 3 pounds, but this is a whole 'nother realm of tiny-ness.

She did crash on me once. It took 13 hours to bring her around! She couldn't swallow, was barely in the world. I pulled her through by what would be described as an 'oral drip' method. I NEVER want to go through that again!!

She is doing MUCH better the last few days. She fed herself throughout the day yesterday. I hand fed her around 2am just for insurance. Today has been the same. Also, her energy level is up. She's running, playing and actually being a little aggressive with her much bigger sister.

My vet hasn't seen her since we first pulled her from the litter. At that time, he said I would have to wait for her to outgrow her (non) eating habit.

My focus has simply been on keeping her alive. With that being achieved, and her vitality level going up, I'm not so scared for her anymore. Now it's time to consider getting her checked out. I really didn't think we would reach this point with her, but surprise ..... surprise!

Sending lots of prayers for lil Tee Tee that she may continue to thrive. You have certainly had your hands full and I hope it is easier from here on out.

Thanks, Vicki. She really is adorable.

You should see her with her sister. Sis is just 2 pounds, but dwarfs her.

Thanks so much. Prayers are MUCH appreciated!! It's been that, and lots of coffee, that got us this far.

All I want for Christmas is a good night's sleep!!

You deserve that and so much more. I want you to have Tee Tee thriving with her lil belly full every day, and catching up for time lost.

She is adorable. Will pray she keeps eating on her own.
