I would leave her with mom and start supplimenting the puppy. Mom will diaper the baby and also you want the baby to hopefully latch on. I've had tinies I needed to suppliment but to be honest they didn't want it so I would get up every 2 hours and place the tiny on mom and sit there and re attach them when they bounced off. I would do this until they were gaining and strong enough to not need my assistance.
Do you have goats milk available to you?
Your mom needs to eat and it sounds like you have the right food for her. The RC Starter is good for mom. Give her goats milk as well as she needs calcium. Are you giving her a calcium suppliment?
I have had to hand feed my new mom. Sometimes they will eat better when hand fed. You can also try boiled chicken breast, scrambled eggs with cheese on top, the goats milk...and any canned dog food she will eat.
Good luck. Keep in contact with your vet as well. |
