Update on Chad and Draco (Bubba)
Chad is 1 lb. 10 oz. and Draco is 1 lb. 12 oz. at 15 weeks. A/D is miracle stuff to crticial little guys for these particular disorders. They are sleeping through the night 8 hours with no incident. We are using the bailey chair hold upright more upright though and it is working for Chad. He has to be absolutely still for 30 to 45 minutes and can not be allowed to overeat. We use a Wagon Train Chicken Jerky soaked for an hour and let him tug with his teeth to keep him still and upright after feeding. The rubberish texture from soaking it works great and helps with teething. It does not seem to bother him if he gets little tiny pieces. I hold it where he can barely get any! Draco is not sleeping so much anymore and he does not seem to mind the light so much. He loves to play with Chad. The soft spot is not closing more now and the ballooned skin protruding contains brain fluid and matter. There is a defect beneath the skull bone. He is stable, no pain or any other neural symtoms except he can not tolerate rough play and tends to only be comfortable with my little yorkie nurse Jenny Girl, Chad, my husband and I. All is well and we have a good routine. Thanks for support. PS., they tolerated their immunizations well. Thanks |
