Hi All
This is my first time rehabbing, we reached out to people in the area but no responses following the storms in Illinois and Iowa. The baby was found by a downed tree stone cold thought we'd loose him but its been a week and I cant bare to see him die now.
He's about 3 weeks old (fox valley formula on the way) but I cant get him to gain weight hes 46 grams and falling, which started kinda suddenly 2 days ago, you can see his little hip bones, I've bulked the formula esbilac puppy milk (powder) with heavy cream (going on for 12 hours now). Feedings every 2 -3 hours 24 hrs a day heating the formula up whenever it cools, he's taking 2-3 cc a feeding, Ive read he should be taking 3-4 but he starts fighting me, rice buddy heated every feed, I check to make sure its not too hot or cold. Pooping and peeing well and very active during feedings.
I'm at a loss with how to get him to gain weight, please help! All the threads I've read people have had success with cream or things worked themselves out but I'm worried wait and see will kill him if I'm not doing everything I can right now.
