I love your comments about how they can be picky and act like pregnant women. It's so true!  Been there, done that myself 3 times.
Thank you again for all your comments, suggestions and advice. It is greatly appreciated!
The puppies are growing so well and getting bigger everyday, despite mommy being sick. I do have one little runt that's smaller than the others, but she's doing great! Just a question about her, if I need to help supplement for the little one, is the best milk replacement for the little puppy equal parts goat milk and water with a little karo syrup?
I saw some milk replacements at the store like canned Hartz milk replacement for puppies and my vet suggested Esbilac.
Thanks again! You all are great! <3 |
I would use the goat's milk with some karo over the commercial milk replacers. Watch out for the little one. Though she may be doing well, her small size can prevent her from getting her share. You could try giving her some alone time on the teat without the competition of her bigger sisters to make sure she gets well fed. Or, you could supplement her to make sure.
Sounds like Mamma has rounded the 'picky curve'...that's great to hear!
