All 3 pups made it through the night- i have some hope from some very inspiring and encouraging responses- thank-you to all- i sent many emails out but didnt realize not to reply to the emails- (sleep deprivation- i guess the huge 3 lines of dont reply didnt even sink in) will try and send comments to all of you.
the vet showed me how to feed the pups with the syringe- he did not seem like there was hope for them- but i am not giving up- they are full term- a huge advantage. They are peeing and pooping everytime i feed them but they seem to only get maybe 1cc down and that is with spillage. 2 of them seem to be getting the sucking instinct down but the runt, 3 oz, is really struggling with that. Does anyone know what the warning signs are if they are starting to die? I am trying not to get attached but it is impossible- i never knew you could love an animal this much, but it is true, you can.
well, thanks again, i will try and figure out how to post the pics of them tomorrow-
