Hopefully your vet will show you how to tube feed the babies.... I have lots of experience but it not something I would be comfortable with writing and have something go wrong. I will tell you my newer vet for the moment has not a clue and I taught her how to do it.
I use a kennel lan heating pad that only goes to a certain safe temp.
Plan on waking every 2 hours for the first week, then every 3 hours for the next week, and every 4 for the third week.
Goats milk can be purchased at walmart next to the evaporated milk in the human food section. Buy quite a few cans...I also add 1 cup of full fat unsweetened yogurt ( not low fat or fat free) to help with the digestive system and I also add mylicon infant drops to help with air in the tummies....
Finding a surrogate mom is always the best but usually not done as having 2 bitches of the same general size and pups of the same general age is difficult, then if the bitch accepts the pups (rubbing the bitches pups on the others, especially making them urinate on them is the best way)
