She puts out all kinds of effort then. Her balance is off centered but after a min. or three she finds her center now.

[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10043"] I agree V. It's a $ thing, would if I could. I've been getting 4 pints down her. Trying the bottle for 45 min. then tubing it down her. Her eyes are focusing, her ears are responding to noise again, she is licking at her belly when she's patted on the side. She dosn't have the runs yet. Her mouth and tongue warmed up over night.
