Hey guys I need some advice, My runt of the litter is not gaining weight like the other 3. She tries to nurse from mommy but she is not getting anywhere. I have tried to bottle feed her and got her to drink a little but she wont drink much ! she will be 4 weeks tuesday. How do I get ehr to take the bottle, The other puppies are so far ahead of her in growing, I am afraid I might loose her. Is there a trick to making her take the bottle. I have tried to get her to nurse but she dont seem to suck hard enough. What can I do.
