Also are there any ways you all dictate pups in a large litter, I am having trouble keeping track of who is who and feel bad for it

you should tag each one with different color fingernail polish on their belly and weighing/recording weights 2 - 3 times a day...weights will tell you if they are doing well or not...if there is no weight gain or a loss then you know that puppy needs special attention and or feedings...

MOST IMPORTANT...keep them warm keep them fed...a satisfied pup will have a round belly and their sides widen.
