do you have any preference for the liquid milk or the one you add water?? I will have to go and buy more today... I had the liquid one... but I guess the other one will hold better... donnow...


thanks a lot for the help and support...

canned or premix doesnt matter...

I would be feeding 5 oz puppies at least 3 oz every feeding, if your in fear of dehydration do a couple feedings of bottle water/karo or unflavored pedilite. Also do one tiny drop of nutridrop on their tongue before feeding.

I would suggest syringing mom the whelping pudding through out the day to help bring the milk back up.....I would stop the broth...too salty.

have you checked the pups for dehydration?? check their gums for color and tacky feeling also the nape of the neck...
