Lisa -- check your PM's -- I don't like to put dosage info on the main Board. :)

Lisa,
Your babies are between 255 grams and 283.5 grams roughly... I'm not sure what to do when more is given...do NOT give them anymore until someone with more experience comes on...Good Luck!

I would post this in emergency, as it is monitored more closely. Nevermind, I see IR has sent you a PM. :grouphug Hope you and babies are feeling better soon.

Good luck with your babies (and your own health:) ) I know our homeland can be a lonely place when you're rearing outlaws..

how are the boys today, ljhpsauce???
:Love_Icon :grouphug Oh they are looking a lot brighter ...they are taking feeds (Esbilac and some Solids i.e. cashew nuts - they luv...etc) but tend to alternate that some feeds they will take a normal feed nice and "calmly" taking about 15ml+ and then other feeds only taking about 6ml. One of them (Norris tidgey squidge) stools/poos are a bit loose though - you know like one big "squashy" one, as opposed to lots of little firm/hard golden nuggets, but i guess that is norm when R off colour although his brother (Norman squidgy squidge's) are fine. One thing i have noticed though apart from them wanting to sleep a lot is they are very easily "spooked" & not as laid back as normal and R grumpy too - i had to separate them twice today coz they were fighting - although i think this is coz one wanted to play rough and tumble but the other didn't etc but the one that didn't was really screaming and when i had to separate them he was really wary of me too,and when they are getting fed on their big warm rice buddy cushion on my Lap they get nervous instead of their usual relaxed content cuddly selves and want to hide under my arm or down the sofa...but i suppose who doesn't when they are feeling poorly and "Bleurrr" Any ways i will keep you updated AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND WELL WISHES AND SUPPORT:grouphug :grouphug mjs :Love_Icon :grouphug :grouphug :Love_Icon :bowdown thank you again :Love_Icon :Love_Icon :Love_Icon ..Mwah!..:Love_Icon :Love_Icon XXX
