Hi! So tonight weigh in was 11.13lb or 5.05kg! This was without the feeding tube! Getting a lot more strength as well.

That's great news! Did you order the tubes & syringes? Has the enrofloxacin arrived?

Sorry my replies are delayed. When I work, I work very long days.
Enrofloxacin arrived yesterday while I was at work.
I have no ordered the tube (yet) since the weight was on an upward trend.

Have you started the enrofloxacin?

 

[Sarahlynn18]

Yes.
Size 30fr catheter. It's a big fat one and easiest to tube crumbles with. Anything smaller and you would have to use baby bird food, which is expensive.

60 ml syringes. You will need to start tubing 120 ml several times a day. Once you have the hang of it, you will tube 200 ml several times a

Have you started the enrofloxacin?

No I have not. Should I begin this immediately?

Start now and give it twice a day for three days. And if you can afford it, order the tubes and syringes to have on hand in case of an emergency.
