2 weeks old puppies eating formula from palm of my hand
Posted 05-01-2015 at 08:22 AM by Kittykatmeow
1st time mother Yorkie (and first time Yorkie grandma--me) gave birth to 4 pups 2 weeks ago. 2 of the 4 pups are a little smaller than the other 2. they are all gaining weight, for the most part. every 2-3 days, the 2 smaller pups might not gain weight or may even lose 5-6 grams because the larger 2 push them out of the way. I have been attempting to bottle feed to supplement but they do not like the nipple. I squirted formula into the palm of my hand and they do seem to eat some that way. will this practice of puppies eating from my hand at 2 weeks old inhibit their ability to latch on/nurse from mom?
thanks!
thanks!
