DCShuga · 07-13-2014, 08:55 AM

This is our first time and a unexpected pregnancy. The pups did not take to the mother so, yes we were trained to tube feed the last puppy. However, her weight has not gone up and our vet is closed today. I was just curious about nutri cal since I've seen it on the web and posted by various breeders. Which is why I am on this site today, hoping that I can reach a breeder to assist me with my current situation.

Out of a litter of three, we have one survivor, who is a fighter. I just would like for her weight to go up more because it's been at a constant 2.2oz for the past three days.

Just more info: I currently have her (preemie 5 day old) on a 3 hour esbilac feeding schedule. I am currently feeding her the liquid version of esbilac but I also have the powdered version as well, on stand by.

BTW-thank you all who have responded thus far.
