Others have said to try ultra boost. I will give that a try but her little system has had a terrible time and I don't know if she will digest it. Formula is fox valley 20/50 5% bw as often as her milk line allows. she also developed a rash around the base of her tail for a couple days but that is healing...hope it was from urine. Joints look a little off but that may be because she still has see through skin.
What do you all think?

The "features" are also a little suggestive, I wouldn't rule out downs....
I've personally have not rehabbed a downs baby but some members have raised them
and can likely advise through their experiences. I will try and reach out to a few to
look at your forum.
