Nemo: 6 days old
Nemo’s growth has been quite rapid. By 6 days old, on October 11, 2013, he had nearly doubled in size. Our younger dog, Kelly, showed interest in him from the start. As with my first cat, Jethro (who was also an orphan that I bottle fed), Kelly has made it her job to clean the formula off of his wee little face.
At this point, our other cats and our older dog were not impressed by Nemo. After all, he really did not do much other than eat, sleep and potty. At 6 days old, his eyes remain closed but his hearing seems to be developing slightly.
See below for another video and a few more photos.
