You said you were young, how young are you? i have bottle fed newborn kittens before, and kept them in a homemade incubater, with heating pads underneath blankets. Hypoglcemia is extremely worrisome at this age, have nutrical or kayro syurp always on hand and rub on the baby's gums, blood sugar has to stay at a normal, even level, if too low will kill this new puppy, so you have to be so very careful. Did the vet mention wet food? wet puppy food would have better ingredients ,and buy some that are super premium high in protein. You could spoon feeding her, little bit at a time every hr. or so. I think you will need to give this puppy round the clock care, and it is not for somebody who never has had any experience taking care of such a tiny, vulnerable puppy. Can you try to find someone to help you? Best of luck with your puppy.

She can not go back to the old environment. She was left outside in the dirt alone there at 5 weeks. She came to us at 7 weeks with stomache bacteria and is on medication for that now. My mom is taking care of her too. It is mine and her dog. The vet told us baby food and her medicine so that's what we are doing now. We are going to research nutrical. When should that be given to her?
