She's still doing good, trying to stand and walking around a few times a day. I took her out for a short stroll in the yard and to see momma. Then back in for a bottle, then some tube feeding. As soon as she drinks a little of her bottle she starts falling a sleep, then it is a struggle to get her to drink more...... so then I have to tube her. She's still bright eyed and more active, so i think she's getting better and better. :fl

She's most active between 2-4 in the morning ( lucky me :D ). When she was standing this time she started feeling frisky and tryed to pounce around... hehe, she fell over and I helped her back up... silly girl. I am hoping she is out of the woods, but I have never delt with septis so I don't know....... i don't know if it could just pop up again.

That is great that she is doing well. Unfortunately, you have a long way to go to be out of the woods. But this is definitely a good sign.

I was worried about Peaches all day, she just laid there looking very sorry for herself. I thought she was giving up on me, if I picked her up she was like a limp rag. I noticed she hadn't pooed all day, so I gave her 3cc's of the dishwater ennama. In a few mins she had pooed... was looking firmer and more pellet like, instead of the mustard consistency she had been pooing. A few mins after that she was sitting up and looking for her bottle ! Then she walked around a little bit looking like a different baby then earlier. I don't know why she keeps getting constipated, I hope it's ok that I gave it to her again, but it sure seemed to make her feel better.
Another problem i am having is that she wants her food but she doesn't want the nipple. It is the same one I have been using, the red one with the yellow. She will come over to me or a box and try to suck on it, but when i put the bottle in her mouth I have to wrestle her to take it. :idunno

Giving an enema whenever they need it is fine. You could always try another nipple or see if she just drinks out of a bowl.
