We had our 5 pup litter via c section about 53 hours ago. Everyone appears to be doing fantastic. All pups are vigorous....nursing a lot....noone appears to be dehydrated. Mama is eating and drinking a lots.

The puppies are just not gaining much. All maintained their weight for the first 48 hours...this morning 1 has gained 1/2 oz which i8s great. 2 have gained 1/4 oz. 1 has gained a 1/10th an ounce. The smallezst girl is the same as she has been since birth. I tried supplementing her with goats milk formula from 4 diff types of bottles with no luck. I finally got her to take a drip at a time from an eye dropper which she happily accepted. Miss t just doesn't seem to have an adequate amount of milk. Her bags almost always appear empty. They are draining her of every drip. I have been checking each nipple and the one that has the most milk I stick little ones on.

I have never had a section girl.......and have heard their milk can be slower to come in. She did get an oxy pop shot before we left after the section. Would another oxy shot help her milk supply?? She is on amoxicillin and an anti inflamatory for pain. I am feeding her the puppy formula 3 times per day on top of canned dog food (she won't touch her dry food yet...nor will she eat cottage cheese or eggs). She does like plain high fat yogurt. Her incision looks great and temp is 102....so all looks good. But we need more milk........and unfortunately my other mama is bone dry. Ugh. Any suggestions??? I will be in contact with my vet tomorrow am to see what they suggest.....but sometimes experienced breeders have better suggestions.
