Okay time to get the baby going. If you have Karo light syrup a couple drops of that.

If you can get some form of unflavored pedialyte or powdered electrolytes from a feed store (follow puppy directions for strength) get a syringe and offer her drops of electrolytes every hour to two hours.

When she starts picking up her head, put a small amount of fine starter food in front of her and tap at it so she pecks at it.

After they perk up from the Karo (agave syrup also works but few people have it - it's actually better even than Karo light.) mix an egg yolk with a small amount of water and a tiny bit of fine starter, and offer drops from the syringe.

If you don't have a syringe most pharmacies have them behind the counter - ask. Or use the ones they make for giving meds to kids, some feed stores have them both the injection type and the type used to feed puppies/kittens (usually the same as the meds one for kids).

Good luck - tell her I've said enough of this lying around. Even my turkey poult is tinking around his incubator.

I don't have any of that stuff and I'm not sure I can get out to get any...Anything else I may have?...

She's pretty much just laying around still but breathing and peeping loudly every now and then...

Maybe just try some plain old sugar water? How is the little baby now?

She's still very weak but hanging in there...I'm giving her sugar water, electrolytes and all the love I can...

Puff and Stuff are too cute

As to this baby, if time sensitive in terms of above walkswithdog recs, perhaps you can ask someone to go to the store for you if you can't go..

I hope all will be well!

Rooting for the beautiful little munchkin

On the Karo, I'm not sure - haven't hatched anybody - but hopefully someone will see your question lickety split! walkwith dogs post sounded like a couple drops straight up.
