 50 gram (1.75 oz) puppy?!
OK - one of Molly's three boys was born at only 50 grams (1.75 oz). He has nursed with vigor and has gained - but only about .2 oz a day - they are 5 days today. The other pupps are massive compared to him and push him off - I try to get in there and give him some alone time with her, but don't know if the big ones are getting most of the milk. He isn't crying - so I guess he's getting enough food - maybe he just eats and gains less cuz he is so tiny? I am so worried about him - any words of encouragement on tiny ones would be a big help!
Also, I am taking them in to get tails and dews done today- is it safe for such a little guy? |
