I would say put it in a towel or a sock, hand feed it, don't force it to go anywhere, and feed it water from a nasal syrenge. Try to get it more vitamin c. How are the other babies?

The other ones are fine. Thankyou for replying. Yes I've put in a sock and don't have a syringe but will get 1 in the morning 1st thing, its had sum water and nibbled sum food. I've separated the others from it to be on the safe side. The other 2 babies are with the mother and have another sock for them both.

I love socks. Socks are the magical cure for babies. at least as a snuggly. I find that most of the people i've told to put a sock in the bin tell me that the babies have perked up.

I wouldnt put much hope honestly. Runts by themselves usually dont make it, let alone ones that are injured

There are .... times when things are better left unsaid. The sock method has worked several times, and if Rcak wants to hope, well let them then.
