Hi all! So it’s been awhile since I’ve made a post, if you’ve followed my other threads about puddles or gus, they’re doing great super healthy chunky babies. All growed up awaiting their spay/neuter!
Anywho! Here we go again, these new babies are Jasper (Tabby) & Daisy ( gray and white) anyway, This time the issue is suckling on each other. I’ve never had more than 1 bottle baby before and never dealt with something like this. They are 12ish days old eyes just popped open
background info:
So background on them, they were found in a nice ladies garden and then called me mama left them never came back. Originally there were four these two are the only survivors. They honestly are the most healthy seeming babies I’ve had thus far. I picked them up last Sunday (august 6th) allegedly they were born the previous Tuesday (August 1st) they’ve been pretty good Daisy has a harder time accepting the nipple, Jaspy is so good with it, he’s an easy going little dude lol.
The issue :
Ms Daisy duke feels the need to suckle on her brother ALL OVER HIS BODY. since I’ve had them he is ALWAYS wet looking and just kinda icky looking fur. I don’t really know what to do here it’s become a big problem as there is a bump on his foot now which I think she caused from suckling (ps what can/should I put on it? : should I wrap it, and do Neosporin ? I added a picture of what it looked like! ) however it’s not miss crazy Daisy doing this suckling little Jasper will occasionally do it too. I’ve offered both more milk at feeding, doesn’t matter throughout the night they still do it. Do I separate? I thought about making a little sock onesie to stop the sucking but she’s been sucking on his hole head too that’s why he looks a bit (no offense Jaspy) like a little rat baby. Their beautiful eyes have opened no issues which is so crazy every baby I’ve had had issues keeping them open! I know it isn’t ideal to separate them but I don’t quite know what else I could do here, If you have any suggestions let me know!
