You may have to sit with mom and the little one every few hours if you want her to nurse on mom... hold her on to mom... it's alot of work but worth it!
I have a really small puppy that was 2.1 oz at birth (her sister was 4.5).... but she never had a problem with nursing on mom.
Check out the difference at 3 1/2 weeks.... GEEZ! Little one is 7 oz., big sis is 1 pound, 8 ounces!!!
Best of luck with your little one. |
OMG, how adorable. I have never seen such a huge difference in size at that age. I hope the little one continues to do well. The little ones really make me nervous.
