 Helping Lexi feed
If you have followed my thread for Lexi's previous litters that were also large ( 6,6,7 and now 8) I do not suppliment unless I see no weight gain or if Lexi just looks like she is too tired to feed. Well this litter I am helping the little ones get more, as I see them being push away from Lexi by the bigger puppies. (how do I call 6.0 oz big???) Well I first do "shift" feeding. All the little ones, Orange, Pink, Red, and Yellow, get to nurse first and when they are done I lit the remainder of the litter nurse. I take the first group one at a time and bottle feed them. It is too cute!! |
