As some of you know, I've been having problems with my smallest girl, Abbie. Here is the deal, she hasn't been eating, so I've tried some stuff like Jump Start and other stuff. She has gotten to where if you touch her chin and she is hungry she will open her mouth... so I have started her on small mealies. She has eaten 4 of them since yesterday, but I have not seen any poop yet, should I continue feeding her if she is eating, or wait until she poops....

There is a very tiny, I mean very small amount of what looks to be either feces or urine but it must have been somewhat runny and only like 2-3 drops.... any ideas?
Jeff
sounds like a bit of something. Make sure it is drinking water also so it stays hydrated. It takes a little while for solid food to pass.

maybe just a couple 2 or 3 mealies a day till you see poop. Just to make sure there is no impaction. You should see poop in a day I would say if she ate yesterday.

Have you tried giving her chicken baby food? You might try giving her chicken baby food mixed with a small amount of pedialyte and add some calcium, feed it to her either through a syringe without the needle or smear some on her mouth so she'll lick it. Since she hasn't eaten this might give her some more nutrition. Her poop will be a bit runny if you give her this diet. Another one is the bug slurry....you can grind up some crickets and mealworm and give it to her either through the syringe or smear it on her mouth. I know this sounds gross but it works.
Well she was on a liquid diet until about 1pm yesterday... so I assume thats why her stool is runny right now.
