sick baby

Question
I am trying to nurse a sick runt.  The mother had 3 babies 2 are fine but one is very tiny and inactive.  I have been feeding Harry every couple hours from a dropper but he really doesnt seem to want it.  His eyes are not open either I am not even sure he has eyes at this point.  Can I do something like soak them with a warm wash cloth?  i really dont think he is going to make it but he has lasted 4 days so far.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi Rhonda

You certainly can wash Harry's eyes, no problem with that at all.

I have to admit I have never been in your position so I might not be the best person to advise you.

A great site is www.guinealynx.info which has some useful info for you.
