I would set my alarm and check the puppy every 2 hours to make sure it is warm and to let it latch on to one of the back nipples. Take those little fatties off the back nipples and protect the space for this little puppy or remove the other puppies to a warming box until you are sure this tiny one has eaten as much as it can.
Is the puppy's tummy full and round, or is it flat and skinny? |
Yes now he is warm we set up a heat lamp but the first few days we did not know this. I am waking up every 2 hours and making sure he is fed. And yes the runts tummy is fat. This is just in the last few days. He is peeing alot. Just another ? How much should he poop?
