    Exclamation Please help! Three week old, feeding and formula questions!

    Hi!
    I have had this baby girl for almost a week now, I just want to be sure she is getting what she needs. I don't have a scale, trying to find a cheap one. I have been using the ESBILAC puppy formula, feeding about 2.5 ml every two-three hours. Feeding is going fine, doesn't seem to be putting on all the weight she should be, also, poop isn't solid but isn't insanely watery either. Please advise! I don't have unlimited funds, or I would just go by everything I have read online. Should I add heavy cream to the puppy formula? Or order the Fox Valley and wait for it?

    It is not necessary to add cream to the Esbilac. It is the powdered Esbilac that matches a squirrel's needs; the liquid is very different (usually causes diarrhea, no weight gain, etc.) and not the Goats Milk Esbilac.
