The good news is she made it through the night. She still won't nurse and mom seems to be kicking her to the curb, but then whines when I take her to feed her. I have tried one on one feeding but her mom and the puppy aren't hooking up. Tried tube feeding her again but she wont swollow the tube. She does pretty good with the eye dropper. I add a little nutra cal drops to the formula and she has gotten the liver broth. I have another mom with three week old pups that I was going to try and see if she would feed her but she seems to be either drying up or maybe she just fed her 5 pupies and needs a while to replenish her supply. The puppy is going potty just fine. She nether gained or lost weight since birth where as her sister went from 3.8 to 4.1 in 24 hours.She's seems to be hungry about every 30 minutes, but seems full after I feed her and won't take any more.
