2 Days Old
Okay everyone gained but Alanza - the little one. The rest are doing well. Our vet has me feeding every 2 hours 2.5 ml and we will see if she gains. That means 15 minutes before you warm up the formula and it takes 15 minutes to feed. It is a process then 2 hours from the START of the last feeding, you do it again. This is stressfilled and time consuming but will be worth it with a positive end result. The goal is to get enough weight so she can feed off mom exclusively. We shall see how the day goes.
I am not even finding time to eat or anything else. I will get used to it.
Check out the videos here. But be sure to check out the shorts as well.

I have a bottle that is made for baby squirrels. It drips out milk as they mouth it so next feeding, we are going to try that and see how it goes.

Good luck, Darlah!
Thank you - almost time for the next feeding.
Positive thoughts !!
Best of luck! Go Alanza !!
I really hope Alanza likes that bottle. You have to take care of yourself too, Darlah. Sending strength and good vibes your way.
She likes the bottle. I never used one before. Only have 1 as the design I have is sold in the states and would not come till the 22nd so one bottle it is. I have either tube fed or syringe fed and they can get pneumonia if you are not extra careful. It scares Dennis - me too. The bottle just drips and she is much happier.
