Jo... I called two vets about her a couple days ago... they told me that since she was so small and young ( they all came OOP 2 1/2 wks ago ) that based on the info I gave them I was doing just about everything that I could, that it wasn't really worth bringing her in because there wasn't much else they could do... to just keep her warm, leave her with the mother and her sister for comfort, to feed her every couple hours and keep her clean myself if mom wouldn't...

she seems alittle better this evening, right now I have her in the other cage with her father and the other mother, that mother wont nurse her but the father cleaned her all up and she is laying curled up with them ( she doesn't lay with her own mother ) in the mean time I have her sister and her 1/2 sisters in the other cage hanging out with her mom... everyone is sleeping and seems content, and I think the attention from her dad helped... I'll keep everyone posted!
