I don't know what to say but maybe the two puppies have some kind of congenital problem that aren't evident. It is so sad though. Because they only have us to help them and when we can't do anything,it is very hard to take . It's like watching our children struggle with lifes issues and we can't fix or solve them . I agree with you their are some really great people here that have given great advice and their kind words help tremendously. I just keep rubbing my little one and stroking her sides with my finger. Trying to emulate Angel licking her and nudging her, I was hoping these kinds of interventions would help stimulate normal body functions to kick in and do what they are supposed to do. For instance Day one after whelping I saw a couple of the pups defecate. I have not seen one after that. Angel when she licks them eats it, I was scared about over feeding them even when I saw their tummies get big, because I haven't seen any more . I haven't seen her always licking them. I am new to how soon they should relieve themselves after eating. I know formula with human babies is constipating. Would the same be true with supplemental formula for the pups? Forgive me some of this is truly elementary but some times we over look the obvious or mundane for some more ominous reasoning for whats going on. I am not suggesting anything by saying this for what you are going through. I am just reflecting on my own past experiences. I try to use every experience as a chance to teach my own children lifes lessons, so we try not to take anything for granted.
Anyway I am truly with you for what you are going through. With the loss of Buddy the sire of Angels pups being killed on May 5th . I was so depressed and felt helpless. The care that hit him didn't even stop. These puppies mean the world to me and my daughter, keeping them healthy is top priority here. WE even took shifts going to church.
