Cookie's baby is 6 days old. Her milk came in late the second day, but by today all her teats but one appear to be dried up and he doesn't seem to be getting much milk out of that. He really fights with it.

He started out at 4.1 oz and his weight went down quite a lot before her milk came in. By today he finally weighed 4.2 oz, so I had the vet show me how to do tube feedings. After three tube feedings and about 5 1/2 mL of puppy formula, he is already up to 4.4 oz.

I hope is weight keeps going up. I would hate to lose him. At one time he was down to 3.4 oz. He just seems so tiny.
