Congratulations on your new litter. I am sorry you lost the tiny girl. How are the puppies doing now? Sometimes with the tiny ones you do have to keep attaching them every hour or so in the beginning. The most important thing is that if he is able to nurse strong enough and long enough to get satisfied.

Sometime a tiny puppy will wear himself out just trying to nurse. The following article give some good information on caring for tiny newborn puppies. I have used the glucose formula in paragraph 10 and I feel that it really helps with the smaller pups:
