I just wanted to say $75 is well worth to save this little one! Good for you, I agree that you did the right thing.
Thanks! I just couldn't turn my back on this one.

She's gaining weight :) Yesterday morning (before the Leerburg formula) she was 8oz. She weighed 8.6oz this morning! She has a nice round belly, is pooing/peeing as expected, and has a great sucking reflex.

I'm exhausted, but it's totally worth it. After 2 days I'm already getting attached :eek:

My mom and sister are coming up this evening to spend the night, and tomorrow they'll take her home. This way we can do the feedings together and my sister can see her little quirks and what I've found works best.

I'm going to take pictures after her next feeding around 1. I've been too worn out and preoccupied to get pictures because I'm either covered in pee, poo, or formula (and just want the puppy to fall asleep) lol.

Good for you -- glad she's doing well.

If she makes it okay through the bottle feeding, will you be keeping her, or is your sister taking her or a foster situation?
