Although her dog is not a yorkie, She was hoping someone one here have any advice. I also a have chihuahua but she is fixed and never had puppies so I have no ideas.
Thanks for advice..  |
One have her pump mother's breast to keep milk coming in.
What I use to nurse new pups with is a preemie nipple attached to a syringe. Using this method allows you to control the amount of milk into the nipple and lets you monitor the intake of milk.
