Hey All -

My sister's yorkie had a litter of 4 this morning - the last one was the largest, breech, and she had to pull him out. When he came out I guess his cord was severed?

Anyway, he doesn't seem to have a sucking reflex - she was trying to get him to nurse without any luck so has been bottle feeding him - he still doesn't suck, but will swallow as the milk goes into his mouth.

Looking for input/advice to help make sure this littlebig guy makes it!

Thanks in advance.
