Breaks my heart but I have to try.
Can you not put her on mom and let her nurse?? Please don't give up on her... Vets/Drs have been known to be wrong and would have had breeders euthanize pups that are perfectly good adult dogs now!

I had to physically attach my runt and make her nurse frequently (in between the others feeding) because she wasn't doing as well as they were. She's still smaller, but definitely thriving.
