This gives me a little hope. I am a total newbie raising a now 1.5-2 week old EGS. I am a little freaked about the formula. He didn’t seem dehydrated when found but I gave him a few rounds of homemade pedialyte before I started on Esbiliac puppy with probiotic (what was recommended on a website because it’s easy to find and then switched him to FV 32/40 a few days later when I got it in (as they suggested).
He seems healthy (active, pees every feeding, poops almost every feeding and on his own sometimes, has black fuzz on his head, back and tail and a white chin now 💗 except he’s not gaining hardly any weight! I read about HWC and added a very small amount because I wasn’t sure of ratio then I read FV 32/40 is bad so I switched back to the Esbiliac yesterday and added a tiny bit of cream. I think it’s Henry’s that has the healthy and unhealthy babies pics at each age and he’s not as emaciated as that poor little fellow at 2 weeks but he’s uncomfortably close and has dry skin now too. There is no way he’ll be as huge as the three week old any time soon! I ordered a new scale as mine shows a lot of fluctuation so maybe it’s the scale? He was 14 g when we found him and somewhere between 17 and 19 g now. Please help!! Here he is now and the day we found him. What’s a normal newborn weight?
