I hope all goes well with your baby.
I don't care for the little 2 oz puppies give me the 4 ozs and I'm happy.
When I had a 2-1/4 oz born in a little of 5 and didn't think it would make it.
I used the nutri drops right before feeding if it didn't looked like it didn't want to nurse.
I would let one of the bigger pup prime the nipple and then put the tiny one on and hold her up to the nipple while she nursed.
I did this every 2 hours for about the first week or two, after that she took off and was able to fine the nipple on her own.
I just kept a check on her belly to make sure it was nice and plump.
She did make it and when she got older she would whip the fire out of the bigger one.
She was so small I didn't get her tail or claws done because I was afraid it would kill her.
Here she is at about 1 week up against one of the boys and one of her at 8 weeks
