There was a problem before the exam...pups were most likely on the verge of coming anyway.
I have had many early litters...a few girls never went more then 56 or 57...some pups live and some do not..I wish you all the best.
I just feel so guilty! I do feed her every other time, but I'm using a bottle,and I'm afraid that I might drown her, do you think I should change to a dropper? How much do you suggest I give her in one feeding?
