Oh, and I would definitely feed wet puppy food....maybe Canidae or Nature's Variety.

Mother's replacement milk; Either Esbilac or Just Born... Week 3 attempt mixing Gerber's rice ceral with mother's replacement milk and a bit of Karo syrup. Make sure all is at room temperature.
These little guys don't have their teeth in yet...so every thing should be kept at a liquidie consistency.
Becareful with over doing the NutriCal...
Pups are just beginning to retain their own body temperature, so keep them warm.
Shots shouldn't be attempted until they are 8 weeks of age. Tell them to keep them away from people until 10 days after their first innoculations, only to be handled by them and make sure that when they do that their hands are clean. Keep bedding clean....
Take a stool sample to the vets...oh! they must learn to diaper these pups, as their bodily functions probably aren't functioning normally yet.
