I do have to hand feed her the only thing she will eat(boiled white meat)and a dog treat now and then. She is eating small amounts maybe 2xs a day. I hand feed her in her whelping box then hold her water bowl for her and wipe her mouth .. When the Vet saw the puppy dies 3 weeks ago he put her on an antibiodic for unfection. Being our 1st litter I am very concerned as to what is normal behavior. YT helped me sooo much during her pregnancy and really prepared me. My main concern is her panting/breathing fast all the time. Actually I was so worried that when i was givin advice to give her tums, i tried it. I did read that on a website also. She wouldnt eat it all. Noy even half. When I gave her some chicken she settled down a little. Her temp is 101.4...I hope the Vet didnt say to come in because he is tired of me calling! All I know is this is a full time job that you have pay for!!! I will keep updates. Photo shoot I will try this week..if Mom lets me

What kind of dry puppy food do you have? You have got to get her to eat. Her temperature sounds good. Do you have Nutri-cal on hand? You should be giving her some of that. If you don't have any then try to get some from the vet or Petsmart if you have one close to you. Also you can syringe feed her some Pedialyte. Chicken alone won't have all the nutrients she need. Pedigree canned dog foods are the only ones I ever recommend because they are soy free. Pedigree puppy and Pedigree Healthy Digestion are good choices for nursing moms. Good luck at the vets. Please keep us posted.
