Default newborn puppy

Sometimes a puppy that is weak will not latch on until he gets some help.
Buy a can of goats milk (it is in the aisle near the evaporated milk in WalMart-if not ask for it at Walmart) Or you can get a little from the mom for this.
Mix can of goats milk with 2/3 can of water with 2 tsps of karo syrup and 2 egg yolks. Warm a little of it each time like you would for a baby.
Use a syringe without the needle and feed him 1 cc every couple of hours. Very slowly so he doesnt choke. Do this day and night
After a few times, he may start to eat on his own --or it could be several days before he is able to.
Good luck with the little guy
