To all who are on this forum. For the sake of the breed and to keep this as professional as we can I hope we can now move on to other things. I am sorry for anyone that experiences a bad time with anyone. Hopefully we can exchange information on this site that will help each of us as breeders. I am really new ( 2nd set of puppies) and came to this hoping to exchange information that would benefit us all. We lost our "mon" of this last litter and are trying to raise the three puppies by hand. After a 9 hour session with the local vet and everything possible we could try she just could not make it. The puppies were 2 1/2 days old then and tomorrow they will be three weeks old. We have been feeding them by hand 24/7 and pray that God will help develop them into adults. If anyone has had this experience they will know it is hard to keep for a schedule and still get restorative rest yourself.
At this point they are still being fed by hand the replacement milk that I mix. Does anyone know when I can start introducing them to milk in a bowl? any help would be appreciated.
Thanking anyone in advance for any information given I will check back here daily. Thanks for "listening" to someone that is new and just loves what we are doing. KRB
