These puppies were TRULY the picture of health and spunk....just five hours before that d**m pill!!!!!!!!!!! 
We asked the vet for something to help bring Livi's milk and she said that the Oxy nasal is what she wouldgive her. Problem with that, no one carries it. We, along with the vet, called a ton of pharmacies.
I am heartbroken! |
I know Revival has a product called "Oxymama" that is supposed to be great. I just don't know if it's too late to start it. They told me it should be started 3 weeks before delivery. I would definitely try with Kalina next time. I wish you knew someone who had a nursing bitch who was receptive.
I did hand feed my first litter of six. That was many years ago. I found that the eye dropper worked the best for me. It's a painstaking, time-consuming situation. Hopefully Livi will still clean them and let them attempt to nurse when they get stronger. That's the best I can offer. Sorry. Praying hard here.
