So glad she is feeling better than this morning. I find that when I give Dolly pedialyte when she hasn’t been eating or drinking, it perks her up within 30 minutes. Of course, sometimes I have to feed it to her with a syringe.
Can you send some pictures of your little Snookie? I am praying that she pulls through this episode and that you have many more happy days with her…thriving on your love.

Usually she eats like a horse. All she wanted to do was lay down and she was shivering. So I took her to the vet. He said he didn't know how she was even alive. He confirmed that she does have hydrocephalus and her skull is not developed. He said her bottom jaw also didn't develop. She's way under size and weight, she's 1.8 pounds and her teeth haven't come in except molars. He also said she has a hole in her heart but wasn't sure how undeveloped it was. Her lungs are good tho. So she was running a fever of 103.4 and he said it could be just an infection of some sort or it could be the heart or hydrocephalus starting to cause problems. He put her on antibiotics and said to give her pedialyte but not to expect much because she wasn't going to be alive much longer probably. He said you could spend $20,000 and she still might not make it. So I gave her the meds and pedialyte and took a nap with her. As soon as we woke up she was wanting to eat and drink and play. She is definitely a miracle baby.
