| Tiny Tink Tink was born on 11/11 and weighed only 2 oz at birth. She dropped 0.1 oz each day the first 2 days. She is back up to 1.9 today. I am giving her supplemental feedings 3 times per day as her siblings keep pushing her out of the way for them to eat. At what point should I worry?? She drinks about 1 tsp at each feeding. She is so tiny I figure her tummy can't possibly hold more than that. |

| If she's eating from mom I would see that she gets on first and has mommy time alone before the others get to eat. Make sure she has had her fill and then let the others eat every time and maybe get her on more often than the others.

Fantastic advice - exactly what I'd do. Mommy milk is the best and as long as she can suckle, I would give her the opportunity to nurse without competition from the other pups at least every two hours 'round the clock. | |
