BACK GROUND STORY:
PIPET was acquired friday a week ago tomarrow. Finder had him on cow milk ,ensure, or both. Not forthcoming with info . Left the squirrel with someone else to give to me.
He was warmed hydrated first and only weighed 40 grams. Guessing when I acquired him he was 4 weeks old judging by tail haveing fur everywhere but underneath, eyes closed, bottom teeth all the way in amd tops came in 2 days ago.
He was eating every 3 hours to start and went to every 4 hours 1 day ago on wednesday.
I had him on royal canin but with advice from TSB he was slowly weaned to goat formula 3 days ago.
As I said he was eating well and 4 to 5 cc every 4 hours. On the goat formula till yesterday qt 8 am is when the not wanting to eat, change in stool, wanting food 5 or 6 hours after a feeding amd that's me offering. He is crying for it.
Heres the worry part.
Yesterday at 8 am is when it all started with him not being eager to eat amd only ate 2.5 cc yesterday at 8 am.
Then yesterday At 10:10 he was hungry at ate 5 cc.
2 pm yesterday . 5cc
6:30 pm yesterday 4 cc
10 pm last night 2.5 cc amd then rushed food at 3 am so I tried again at 4 am refused.
Finally atv5 am today he ate but only 1.5 cc so I tried again since his milk line was gone and only ate 3 cc at 6:30 am.
Refused the 10:30 feeding
I keep extensive charts and included yesterday's and todays in a poc
I also got a pic so ya could guess his age , a poo pic, amd tried a couple belly pics so you could see if ya saw a milk line.
First concern is the blessing of formula he wants amd the lengthening of time between.
SECIND CONCEREN : 6:30 am today he has a massive very soft poo, SOME FORMED SOME LOOSE .. judging by picture is this normal poo?
THIRD CONCERENI : attached a pic of poo that I got at 11 am When I checked on him he had some already out of his rectum which is too early for him to go potty by hisself.
LAST CONCEREN: He has lost a gram since lasthimself. Yesterday he was 63 grams today he is 62 grams.
Should he be slowly put back on the royal canin.
Eyes still not open . Tip and bottom teeth are in.
Sincerely mary
