Update: 2 Blogs for just this
The little gal is down to 4-3/8oz. She has really consistently lost weight and wouldn't latch on but for seconds. I woke up this morning to her losing more weight. I was beside myself.
Well, tonight she latched on to mom and ate a full meal. She didn't lose - she didn't gain so I topped her off with supplementing her. I will see if next feeding she latches on again. If so, progress. As I said earlier, she had a massive poo session earlier today. It was firm but I never saw so much come out of a little thing. It did have her lose but as I said she hasn't lost since. I feel hopeful. She is a fighter. She was never lethargic.
So - I am very hopeful. I am going to name her temporarily Alanza - which means "ready for battle"
On another note, the rest of the pups have started gaining.
I will upload a video of her feeding where she was latched on.
Sage is amazing and while I am supplementing Alanza, she licks any dribbles off and kisses her. It is endearing.
PS: Alanza latched on and ate from mom her second time in a row.

Woohoo - way to go Alanza! You go, Girl! 🎉🎊
Hooray, Alanza!!!! Eat your heart out sweetheart. What good news this is. ❤️🤗🍾🐾
Bravo Alanza!!! I can't wait to see you with a round tummy.
Alanza- don’t know how you found that name very appropriate. So happy to hear she is feeding , poor little thing backed up with poop. Hoping she continues this battle and wins 🥰
Good to read the positive comment about the little pup able to eat again. Hoping that all continues positively
