He checked the puppies for cleft palates and checked her for anything, they took one more xray, no more puppies thank God.
all girls and their weights are 4.7,4.7, 4.6, 4.2, 4.6, 3.8, 5.5. they are tiny I let all my kids stay home from school that still live at home, all 5 of them, soon after the 2 others followed. Angel only has 4 nipples that the pups latch onto with difficulty. I shaved all the hair off the inverted nipples. should I supplement with formula or just rotate the pups in and out of the whelping box with her?
I don't know what to tell you about Angel, I just wanted to say Congratulations! You need an experienced one to tell you.
I probably would change them off and on, and give them the supplement too. Maybe ask your Vet.
