Most did well..I would say 8 out of 10 grew up just fine...but I tube fed most of my tinies..and used Dyne.

I had a girl named Candy who never carried her pups more the 55/56 days...so her 3 to 4 pups per litter were always under 2 oz...she had 4 litters and none died.

Had one not gain any weight for 11 days..his coat was dull, no muscle tone. clamy skin..a limp blob..I got up each morning hoping he had died peacefully in his sleep. Mom cleaned him, but I fed him and he just laid there for 11 days.....then came day 12, he looked better, and each day he improved. I didn't let him go until 4 months and two full pounds..no lingering health problems...

...do all you can and the results will be, "some will live and some won't" plain and simple...
