Well, we sort of expected this. Limpy, our mother of quadruplets, has a defective udder. Only one side is functional. We hoped pulling off Annie & Oakley and leaving her with only Bobo and BooBoo would allow her, hopefully, to nurse both without too much difficulty. Unfortunately, a single udder is only providing enough milk for the stronger of the two males, that being Bobo. While Bobo is gaining weight and growing, his little brother BooBoo is declining. He is not getting enough milk and therefore is unable to keep his core body temperature up. Consequently, he is getting weaker. We waited until Sunday; it was then decided that we would supplement BooBoo with the bottle. He took to it right away. And within a day, he is already showing improvement. Here's a photo of BooBoo just before we started bottle feeding him.
