She has been to a vet and is supposed to go back Friday. She has diarrhea has had it for almost a week. The vet checked for Giardia and it was negative. The vet said she had slight dehydration and to give her pedialyte or gatorade with water.

I have seen my joeys start grooming but at 4 weeks mom and dad are still helping go to the bathroom and keeping them clean. Her coat isnt very fluffy which could be nutrition since shes not getting what her little body needs at her age.
But sicne youa re feedin her the formula you should see a big difference within a few days.

Ok atleast you don't have Giardia to worry about. Please make sure you do the tent test regularly as with diarreah they can dehydrate really quick and things can get dangerous really fast. If she is dehydrated any vet can help but she will require sub q fluids. Do you have Suz's phone number? She really is great and can help you much better than I. I do alot of rescue work but 9 out of 10 they are adults. I'm not the best source of info on the babies but atleast I can give you an idea. I truly hope she gets better really soon!

This is so sad! How can people take away a baby from its parents so early just to make money. It is sick.
I hope the little girl starts to eat for you. You can even keep her in your bra during the day wrapped up in fleece your body will keep her warm. This way you can constantly watch her.

I hope she gets better! She probably isnt grooming by herself yet, so just try and keep her as clean as you can. And make sure shes hydrated. Your doing a great job, and your at the right place to get info now! Hopefully Suz will be able to give you some more help and advice.

You all are the best I am so very thankful I was told by a breeder here in Maryland about this forum. I am not sure my baby would have made it this far without all you wonderful people!

OMG I can not believe she is only 16 grams! That is very tiny. Have you talked with Suz yet? I am glad that more people have seen this and are helping you out now. I hope your little one makes it, she is for sure a fighter! Good luck!

I'm sorry I missed your call during the night I am exhausted lately because I've been working full-time and I'm used to working just 1-2 days a week Anyway, your joey is very tiny and very sick. She's probably only 3-4 weeks out of pouch From looking at her pictures she's still dehydrated. The continued diarrhea worries me, especially since it's continued for a week. I would ask the vet for meds for parasites just to be on the safe side since the diarrhea is continuing. Make sure you go ahead and feed her every 2 hours as suggested by Barbara/bdeese and her incubator humidity needs to be kept at 70%. If you don't have a barometer for the incubator, then you need to get one - they're available at PetSmart in the reptile section. To keep the humidity up put a damp washcloth on the bottom of the incubator underneath the layers of fleece blankets. You may need to cover part of the top of the incubator with a handtowel. Try it covering various amounts of the top (always leaving some of the air holes exposed) until the humidity registers at 70%. The higher humidity level will also help to keep her a bit cleaner because her food and excreta will not be drying in her fur. I will be at work today from 9-3 ET, but feel free to call me. Try my cell number first and if you don't get through then call my work number: cell: 440-520-4799 work: 440-846-2665 Hopefully, together, we will help this little one survive and thrive

When I took her to the vet he did give her meds to be on the safe side he said. I have been toing the humidity in the incubator but not the barometer. I will run out this morning to get one for her.I do have some semi-good news her poop was firmer then it was yesterday not solid like my other one but it least had a poop shape but was softer then it should be. Her coat is starting to look a little fluffier just not her tail. Suz she aye some of the pumpkin too at 2 of her feedings so I am hoping that is a good sign too. I will keep everyone posted I promise.

She has many praying very hard for her. I will be keeping a watch for updates on this little one. And also there are some people trying to compile info to get these people shut down. I don't have the link right now, but I am sure someone else here does. You could add your story to it.

Her eating the pumpkin is very good!!! I glad she attempting to eat on her own! To make sure pleasse keep hand feeding her the mix until shes fully eating on her own. Has she gained any weight overnight since you have been feeding her? Her tail would be the last part to start fluffing up so your on the right track

The link reffered to above is http://sesg.suggies.net. There is a group effort to put an end to the senseless suffering of both suggies and their owners. Once Tink is better we will need your help. Please keep all reciepts and vet records as we will need those in the future. I will continue to pray for you and your little girl! It's a good sign she ate a little on her own
