Hi

Once the puppy has eaten you are to take a peice of cotton wool warm it with luke warm water and then wipe his bottom he will automatically have movement, he will urinate then he will have a stool, keep his feeds constant and at 2 hour intervals.
Good luck

This is good advice. Also call your vet and ask for his/her recommendations. You may want to take the puppy to the vet as well. There may likely be a reason that she rejected him other than the fact that he is the runt.

Raising a pup is a lot of work, but if your little one can make it - it will all be worth it in the end! Good luck and I would call the vet too.
Also...lightly (LIGHTLY) pinch the skin on the back of the neck..if it stays up in a pinch mark the pup is dehydrated and needs more liquids. You vet might teach you how to tube feed too. That is the easiest way on a baby that I have found anyway!

I took the puppy to the vet today and he didn't see anything wrong with the baby. So he said to feed her 5-6 times a day and keep her warm and to stimulate her bowels. But he did give her a slim chance of living.

Can you hold mom down and let him eat some?

Are these puppies yorkie babies??

How old is the pup?

Poor baby...I posted to you in the other thread - wobbly and falling over

It sounds like this is your first time as a breeder - you may want to do some research about very tiny yorkie puppies - There's alot in the breeder section and you can search using key words just in that one section -

Good luck with that little baby
