She is also having trouble keeping her temp up, so in addition to the heating pad I have these baby teddy bears that go in the microwave to heat up and have those surroundingthe pups under a baby blanket to keep them in a nest (with mom on one side). She is sucking better this afternoon - still a little lethargic. The vet said to give her supplement formula, the book says no! Neither is a Yorkie expert..... I like your idea of putting nutracal on mom's nipples, but don't want her to get an overload of sugar, so I guess I should stop Karo, right? I don't want to lose another pup!
Thanks.
Lynn and the gang!
Ps - This is like having preemie triplets! |
Also, have you weighed her to see how she's doing weight wise?
