| Update and a question... She is doing phisically much better, even when I have had to hand feed the little brat rat until today... up to yesterday I was even giving her water with siringe...finally today she started eating and drinking by herself, but not as good as I would like... she has very few milk, and today I started supplementing the babies a bit... they hate the bottle, so I am having a hard time... I really hope she can get more milk, if not we are in trouble again... she will come to me and bark to ask me to go and put back in the box the babies when she pulls them out the box when she goes out... at least she tells me... She is spending a little less time with the pups... I have tried everything, from whelping pudding, to liver, steak, chicken, and she will only take a couple bites of it and walk away... anyways she is eating a little better every day... I am a bit stressed for the milk issue... any advice??

| My experience is the new mothers need plenty of fluids to produce milk. You will probably need to keep syringing water until she starts to drink it or maybe try a milk replacer for the mother similar to Esbilac or something to see if she will drink that. |

| Great! Good to hear she is getting her fluids. Their appetite and drinking usually picks back up in a few days after whelping. I sure hope all goes well with your new mommy and puppies. |
