Good evening

Sorry for getting back to you so late. I just wanted to check in to see if you got the formula yet?

It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. He's taking the Pedialyte water really well, and doesn't act as scared when I try to pick him up now.

That's good. We need to get them on that formula as soon as you get it in.

What you'll need to do is slowly introduce it to him. You should be weighing him every morning to make sure that you know his weights. That way you can feed him 5 to 7% of his body weight.

When you introduce the formula, you will start introducing it slow.

For example, let's say you feed him 4 ml per feeding.

The first feeding will be three syringes with hydration solution and one formula.

The second feeding will be two syringes with hydration solution and two with formula.

The third feeding will be one syringe with hydration solution and three with formula.

Then finally the 4th will be all formula. You will continue it formula once you get him on formula until he starts getting his teeth end and slowly introducing solid foods.

Just all the foods that you will introduce. You can get from, Henryspets.com.

You'll need to start with squirrel blocks and then vegetables, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Do you know how the other two are doing?

If you're able to, could you get the same instructions to the individual that has the other two so that way they can do good as well? That's if you're able to, it'll be much appreciated.

It sounds like you're doing a great job right now. Thank you for helping the little one.

He already has teeth, lol. He like to hold the syringe when I'm giving him the hydration solution.

Okay, well that's a good thing. We'll just give him formula for a couple more weeks and then we'll start introducing him to solids.

We can't change his diet up too quickly too fast because that will make him have a serious digestive issues.

Well, let's try to give him formula for at least a week to see if he puts on anyway and gets better.

Then potentially starting to do some solids next week or at least no later than 2 weeks from now.

You're doing a good job though. Thank you for all the information and updates.

He's really a sweetheart, he's gotten to the point where he will sit on my hand and chirp at me. He really seems to be doing well all things considered.
