Well, as I read in most of these threads, today is not a good day. My sweet little baby woke me up around 4am with a gentle cry, after what was a glorious day when we finally got her poop straightened out...she was weak and couldn't even stand. I heard a slight clicking in her chest and it dawned on me that last night when I fed her the syirenge got stuck and I shot too much into her mouth. I held her upside down and shook her and she seemed ok. So I put her to bed.

I called a local rehab and she agreed that she must have aspirated. I could just die, it's my fault...I took her to her home but she was on a call (works for animal control) her husband greeted me but informed me that he knew nothing and that she would be home later. I HATED TO LEAVE HER!!!! he told me not to worry and I had done by best as most of the babies that young don't make it. THAT DID NOT MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER!!! He said that she would call me later and let me know how she is doing, but it didn't look promising to him either.

I picked her up, kissed her little head rubbed her little belly and her back leg shook. It about killed me to walk out that door as I knew he just put her up on the counter and she was all alone until his wife got home. I hate myself and just want to feel better.

I want to Thank you all for your help the last few days and please pray for Chippy. This has been a heart wrenching experience. Maybe I should have kept her and just held her if there was not hope. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND ALL HIS LITTLE CREATURES!!!! Thank you, Rhonda Caison, Supply, NC
