Tiny Puppy Feed her often with a dropper and a small amount at a time. Every hour at least until she is stronger. Also keeping trying her with her Mom. I have found that dropping a little formula on mom's nipple will also help get a puppy started. Express a little milk from Mom and at the same time open pup's mouth and try to get her to nurse. If she doesnt pick up nursing quickly you will have to continue to dropper feed until it does. Use a little of the nutrical on your finger to get some calories into her. Also make sure Mom is stimulating her to go potty if she will do it. It is better to leave her with Mom between feedings provided Mom is accepting. Just make sure she is kept warm. If there are no other problem with the puppy normallly they will latch on as they get stronger. Just make sure you keep her taking formula regardless if it is Esbilac or some other canned formula or one you make yourself.
