[QUOTE="Matersmom, post: 1300986, member: 24712"] So it has been about 6 hours since since he ate last. The last time he ate he had a bout a pint. I tried to give him the electrolytes twice now and he won't touch it. He tosses his head away when you put the bottle near him. Also. When I just went out he was lying down a th his poo behind him. It was clear that he hadn't gotten up to go poo. It was the same color and consistency as it has been. We got him up to feed him and he was ready for that until I offered him the nipple. Then he just wanted to go back and lie down. Tried to get some down his throat but he was plainly unhappy by the whole process. I am going to try feeding him again in a couple hours but I already feel like its going to fail. When we brought him home he was crazy about going after the bottle, now he seems almost offended by it. I have tried straddling him, and leaning over him so that he feels like he is under his mom, but this doesn't encourage him either. Any other ideas for when I go out there and try again? [/QUOTE]
