    Thank you! ;) It was definitely a labor of love! I've cried so much about this litter, til I just couldn't stand it anymore and HAD to intervene! I agree with you, they don't look at ALL like they're the same age! As far as keeping them, we haven't decided FOR SURE yet..... I'm just about...

    @StefanZ  Thanks SO MUCH for all the help and advice! I have been giving him a little canola oil in his milk feedings, with each feeding. I now am giving him bits of water in between feedings, and also went out and bought the suppositorys and inserted a sliver at a time, after 2nd time...
