As others have said, vet, soon! Could be that the crop is infected. This is a situation where time is of the essence, go now!

I will not comment cause its already been warned about the risk of getting a baby...the only thing I would say is vet visit is needed!

I took both of the babies in today to a Vet, and im a very proud to say they both got a clean BILL OF HEALTH, they weighed the right amount for there age, there lungs was clear and there cloak and belly was empty, I had givin the lil one some pedilite last night and this morning.. The Vet said i was doing a wonderful job on them , I had him run test just to make sure everything was ok from inside out , he said there both healty lil babies , and noisy... thanks for all your help....
( just a lil note I had already planned to take them to the vet when i didnt feel comfortable and thot something was wrong , was just wanting to see if anyone had this happen before and what was wrong, I am a good mom to these babies and will contuie to be..I know many have been concerned but i will say this If i hadnt bought these babies, they could have gone to someone who wouldnt be as on top of things and know there lil ones every move, and possibly die for the un known.. I worked for a vet for awhile and have worked with alot of babies , just never took them home with me so please know even tho i appreciate your concern for me getting them so young, Please understand ill be the best mom i can be, the guy i bought them from would have sold to a hole in the wall pet store at the same age if i hadnt taken them

Could be your formula is too thick or maybe your brooder too cold. Good move with the pedilite.
