Then just watch their weights closely for the first few days and make sure they are gaining and not losing. I usually see a gain of at least 1/8 oz every day for the first few days.
If a pup is not gaining or losing you need to keep supplimenting it untill it gains on it's own.
Thanks so much! I will get them started on supplementing.
