Make sure your diapering her after you feed her. You can save this baby. I suggest taking her in to the vet and getting some advice. After about 5 days mine started getting her hair like the others and the suckle reflex started kicking in. When she started sucking I would pull the others off and let her nurse by herself until full then let the bigger ones have it. I would do this every 2 hours. She is now finding it herself but I still go and let her nurse alone often. |
Why would you put a diaper on a puppy? Or do you mean wiping with warm cloth? Because that is what I would do..
Also for gas you can use the baby gas relief drops but just use a tiny drop.
