This is so hard. I just tried to feed the puppies. They are crying like crazy. I had to put bitsy in the kitchen and she is down there at the door barking right now. Is there anything anyone can suggest that I put on them, like colered bands, to tell them apart.
There are a few that have no markings and I cna't tell them apart. I'm so nervous. Some of them seemed like they were getting enough milk but that nipple on that bottle seems hard. Are they supposed to latch onto it like a nipple or is it ok if they chew it on the sides of their mouth and lick????? SOme of them did that but I don't think they were getting enough. Are they supposed to have two tablespoons per 4 ounces of body weight??? I've got to weigh them each and tag them somehow to keep track. I need bands or something and where do you get them? I tried ribbon already but that's not working and the ink smeared.
I'm going to try and feed them some more and let bitsy lick their privates so they can poop and pee. She is major stressed...so am I.
Thank you thank you thank you!! I'll check back in a bit |
