Princess is back home and I've discovered a creative way to allow her to be with the puppies without the risk of her having them nurse. We devised a yorkie tube top out of an elastic surgical tubing that they would put around a leg or arm or appendage on an infant and put that on her then secured it loosely with an ace bandage so now she can clean and groom them and sit with them while we bottle feed them.
We are to give her a calcium supplement twice a day and I'm giving her some of the puppy formula I'm working with. Hopefully this will get us through this critical phase at least now all we have to do is feed puppies not bathe them and make them go potty!
