Shazza, if it was fading puppy I would know more what to do...he dosnt tick all the boxes of fading...hes ok today, not great not bad...still feeding two hourly.

:o I hear you MM. That's exactly what Purple was like. We'd have a really good night and then she'd rally somewhat and have a GREAT day and hold her own or look like she was turning a corner for the better and then WHAM, she'd be flat again and looking miserable.

I carried her in my bra for three weeks, feeding two hourly most of the time and holding her on the boob between times...or at least fending Bad Alice off so that Purple could GET some boob and mummy time.

She was putting on weight, staying borderline hydrated most of the time and I really did think she was going to make it. Actually, I think if you search here for my posts from 27th October last year you'll be able to read about most of the things that happened....good and bad.

Sway has them and most supermarkets still stock them too - look at the jelly /custards / puddings section.

I also have plenty if you have trouble finding it, will send it if you need it.
