Just checking in on Livi and those babies. I'm sorry to see that another pup is acting weak. It's good that you're taking them all to the vet for an evaluation. Maybe your vet can give you a focused care plan.

I think there's no magic bullet for dealing with your situation. With newborns, there's not much medical intervention that can be done, aside from sub-qing fluids. Keeping them fed, diapered and warm are their primary needs.

My experience with hand feeding has been with the very small ones and I've used the eye dropper method. I know there are other ways but, if a baby is too weak to suckle, the dropper is very effective and is really your only alternative other than tube feeding. I'm frankly scared of tube feeding puppies, though I have tube fed baby birds.

As you can see, there are many here that are very concerned for all of you. You have the support of all of us and everyone here is more than willing to help in any way they can.
