Hey yall,
I am getting VERY concerned about dehydration. Lack of weight gain
I have been caring for him/YetToBeNamed for 2 weeks on Thursday.8.11
I think he was 2 to 3 weeks when I got him
I noticed/I feel bottom teeth coming in. Eyes still closed. Moving all extremities well. no problems getting around.
Pooping yellow/loose but formed. Was having some loose stools, but
I added FV Boost to the GMF 2 days ago 1cc Boost to 10cc GMF
When he is not in my/his pouch next to me - He is on Henry's all on heatpad - medium with a layer of cloth between bottom of his "house" and pad;;- laser temp tester says hes 84 to 96 degrees depending on where he scoots to...; has been eating ok, (1.0 to 1.8 cc//feeding) but not gaining - hovering at 30 g
Today, he is not eating as well. Looks like he may be getting dehydrated
and I am worried about not gaining now.
Can they have diarrhea AND SemiFormed Stools at same time?
Weight - 29/30g this a.m.
Feedings today: Fed GMF + Boost
8pm: I fed regular 1cc of GMF and left the Boost out. Pee well/Poop good - large/semiformed
10pm: Little voice bugging me about dehydration - so I fed .5 cc sugarwater/recipe. and he literally inhaled it.
Should I start rehydrating process? if so, how much/how often.
and tomorrow _ i am beginning the switch from GMF to FV20/50 + Boost - IR gave me that process in another post. (thanks!! IR)
Please advise - I can't take the loss of a little one right now....
but, this IS the FIRST time, I have gotten one this far..so thanking babybuddha for that. and yall/this board.
mc .....and thanks for your patience/time
