If her blood panel comes back normal, do NOT breed this momma again.....spay her asap......there ARE some females that just are NOT good mothers, and will abandon/kill and/or eat their young. You will not only need to bottle feed this newborn every 2 hours AROUND THE CLOCK, you need to keep her warm, above 90*.....you need to remember to pee and poop her after each meal...., and you need to stimulate her phusically....I carry these newborns around inside my bra, as they need the closeness and touch to thrive. You need to be weighing her at least twice a day, to monitor her weight gain... Good luck with this new role of breeder! It is labor intensive and fraught with heartache....
