I had a pup who wouldn't eat and she was getting weaker and weaker. We had to take her apart and let her feed on mom first before mom took care of the others. I think the other pups were drinking all the milk too fast for her to get some.

It worked ok to get her to drink first and we had her on moist food as soon as she accepted it.

Here milk has definitely decreased. The girl was drinking, but she just seemed so disinterested. She would try to get on, lick a little, and then walk away. Just weird! I swear neither the babies or mama have read the books about how this is done! LOL!

We have tried letting her get one first, and would you believe, she only gets on when the boy is on? He has gotten so big, that he just takes over everything, so we thought she would like some time to herself, but she won't get on alone.

How long does it usually take for them to accept the moist food?

Thanks!
