Just canned puppy formula??? Not enough....
1 can Just Born with Colostrum
4 oz Pedialyte
1 Raw Egg Yolk
1 Cup whole live cultured Yogurt
3 tbsp Karo Syrup
3 tsp. Vi-Daylin Baby Vitamins
This gives you 14-16 calories/cc.....you need to be SURE each baby is getting 1cc/oz of body weight,,,,,if baby weighs 3 oz, baby gets 3cc....feed every 2 hours, around the clock. Keep accurate weights on babies, weigh 2x a day....that will tell you if anybody is failing to thrive.
Babies MUST be kept at 90*....NO DRAFTS.... They need stimulation to pee and poop after each feeding....
WARNING!! PLEASE DO NOT PUT BABIES ON A HEATING PAD, COVERED WITH A BLNKET....EVEN ON LO, IF THEY WORM AND END UP ON TOP OF THAT HEATING PAD, YOU WILL COOK THEM.....Put the heating pad UNDER their bed.....at this stage, a shoe box will work great....keeps them all close and warm and just set the shoe box on top of the heating pad....be sure they can not oooch out over the top of the box.....
Did you learn to tube feed babies prior to their whelp?
