You are my hero! I'm with Debbi, tube feeding scares me. I know we can do more than we think when tested, but I just hope it doesn't become an issue for these puppies. One of Coco's puppies was born and out of the sack, but the afterbirth hadn't been delivered and the cord was too short to cut. So the little guy just curled around and started nursing before he was even detached from mom.
Now that is the kind of nurser I like to see!
Seriously, though, I really am inspired by all of you on this thread. Thanks for all the great information and input and caring.
