Here are some pics I took tonight of Hope, she is weighing 33 grams, shes very thin!
but her belly is scabbed over it seems to be healing!
she is still trying to bite at it with out the vest so I guess she will be wearin it until it is completly healed! frown

But she is soo sweet and friendly, it makes me feel sooo bad for her even though she seems so sick, she is still licking and play biting on me! and she is soo cuddly!!!! mlove I cant wait till she is all healed!

I also attached a pic of the vest before I put it on her, so yall can see how its made if anyone ever needs to make one for their babies! it looks like an H and you just tye the straps around the neck and in front of the back legs! It works sooooo well!
clap

Amanda,
She doesn't look too thin for her body. I think she just looks scrawny to you because her fur is so matted from the ointment you have to put on her belly. 33 grams IS tiny for a 7 week oop joey, but since she is being hand-raised, that is not unusual. You should weigh her daily to make sure she continues to gain and doesn't lose at all though.
You're really doing a great job with her hug2

that was such a great idea for that vest. I will have to make up some like that of different sizes to put in my emergancy kit. Hope your baby feels better soon.

Debra,
Because she is a joey and is still not fully active, a vest like that will work for her. However, they don't work on adult gliders because they figure out how to get out of them too easily. A number of us have been working on coming up with a version that will work for adults, but the closest anyone has come yet is Mary/pappy1264 when she needed something for Timmy...

oh oh oh I just thought of something. If you make a vest with snaps (or velcro) and put it on backwards wouldn't that work? Or.. make like suspenders with "shoulder straps" that criss cross for the backlegs and tail area...
Later this afternoon I will try to come up with a template to show what I mean.

hey, maybe you could do somthing with snaps, but velcro wouldnt work its not strong enough, but the thing is the fleece stretches so you have to tighten it as it does! or she will take it off, so im not sure snaps would work either. maybe?

But i am hoping today I wont need it anymore! I gave her a bath and i am letting her dry and I am going to watch her and see what she does! she has tryed to lick at it a couple times so Im not sure!

Do you have her wrapped up again for now? What is her status at this point? I'm trying to see if I can find someone to help you out. Would you be able to drive & meet someone part way?

Update: I just spoke with Amanda a few minutes ago, and she is doing much better. Considering the amount of stress and worry that she's been under with this sweet little baby, she just felt overwhelmed in the moment.
She loves this little baby and just wants to do whatever she can to help her. She is going to keep Hope, and will be working with a few of us over the phone until this current situation clears.
She will be bringing Hope back to the vet in the morning for a follow up exam and pain medications.
Sending tons of prayers your way Amanda...Everything is going to be alright. hug2

They sure can! My Lan started SMing his tail 5 days after I got him and before I'd even really found GC - I was beside myself, all I had was the emergency vet here that doesn't know all that much about suggies, they had to look up online how to do his tail amputation! Thank God for GC and the wonderful and amazing people here, the next time Lan SMed after his neuter 5 months after his tail amp, I had GC and felt so much less alone and frightened. hug2 hug2 You aren't alone, hon!

Amanda I'm so glad you were able to get the new vest made. How did that go last night? It was also good to see you were able to get her to calm down and get some rest. Please update us as soon as you get back from the vet. Like I told you last night and as Suz stated if you need anything don't hesitate to call anytime day or night. hug2
