5 week baby grey is only 60.3 g / 2.13 oz. L thin, sneezes fluid from nose occasionally, dehydrated, diarrhea, bottom parts are swollen and red. Will not nurse only lick by drop. Whines occasionally. Eyes open as of 3 days ago. Bottom teeth are in. Guessing at age. Originally thought to be 3 weeks but then eyes opened. Had sister but lost that baby last night at 2 AM. Currently on heating pad from henerys pets on low. Same set up as suggested by henerys pets. Plastic container, fleece bedding layered, thermo and hydrometer. Cleaned 2x daily. Since 2 am have started DAY One Electro Stat every 2 hrs. Takes 2-3 ml.

History... Received two babies 2 weeks ago from lady who DID NOT take care of them. No heating pad and we're being fed every 7 hours. Couldn't believe they were even alive. They were thought to be 3 weeks from the time she said she had them but believe they were soo emancipated that age was wrong. Received on Aug 19. First weight was on Aug 26. Little one was 1.25 oz bigger one was 1.41 oz. Small one had problems nursing and would only lick drop by drop on tongue. Bigger would nurse. Was feeding Day One 32/40. Was feeding according to age. Aug 28 fungus appeared on both babies. More on smaller one. Squirrel board said Clotrimazole 2x day. Did that. Private parts were becoming swollen and red. Diarrhea started. Checked squirrel board. Gave one drop pepto bismol. Did nothing. Started feeding according to weight. Each baby weighed and then given 7% of formula every 3 hours. Kept thinking pepto would kick in. Nothing! 12 hours later gave 2nd dose 1 drop pepto bismol to each baby.
Took off formula put on Fox Valley Electro Stat to rehydrate. Smallest baby having problems staying warm. Kept getting colder and colder even on heating pad. Stopped even licking fluid. Died at 2:00 am. Larger baby.. named "Thyme" is struggling. Staying warm but still diarrhea and dehydrated. Losing weight. Sometimes sneezes fluid from nose. Am feeding drop wait then drop on tongue. So slow! Position is correct head level a bit down with nipple lower. As Henerys Pets shows. Heating pad on. Currently 40% humidity and 112°F (at warmest point) in bedding area. Has been on 1 top Electro Stat to 3 oz water since 2:00 am. Gets about 3 ml per 1-2 hours. As of this minute 2.08 oz in weight (58.9 g)

I'm at a loss as to what else to do. Please help me. I can't lose this baby as well. I already love her so much. I will do anything it takes!
