Okay, he just drank 16ml. No gagging or wheezing
I'm crossing my fingers.

Another 9ml and a lil bit of sneezing milk out, but I think its cause he drank it too fast lmao.

I was going to say that maybe you need to slow him down so that milk does NOT get in his lungs. If he's drinking that fast, he's really hungry. You may want to try adding some Gerber plain rice cereal to his milk to help fill him up. That and/or feed more frequently so he's not drinking as frantically. In another week he may be ready to try eating mush from a dish on his own.

Oh cool okay! I'll give that a try.

He actually slowed down on eating but I think its cause I was hovering for a bit. He's been pretty active, wanting to wobble around and nibble on my fingers. Holding my breath until tomorrow.

He sounds like he'll be okay. If you mix in the cereal, just make sure it's like oatmeal consistency and can still get through the syringe.

Let me know how he is tomorrow! :)

I went and tried the cereal and he's slowed down! Still sneezing a bit but he's still eating and playing. I think he's in the clear! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Yeah! Hold on. Let me try to figure out how to post a pic from my phone.

You should be able to post a picture from your phone. I've done it easily on my iPhone.

I'm glad to hear that the cereal helped!

as an update, this lil guy didn't make it. he died on christmas day after coming back from another foster's house with diarrhea. i think he came in contact with something. i wish i hadn't have to go out of the town that weekend. 

he was a little sweetie though. he met my fiance and crawled all over him and for a long while was a happy, healthy baby. then the diarrhea happened and even the vet visit didn't help. 



rest in peace, romeo. i miss you.
