Tube feed this baby so you know how much you are giving her...that is vital information beause she needs calories to develop correctly....besides, your chances of that baby aspirating milk from a dropper is tremendous. Tube feed her, deliver 1cc/1oz of weight of the puppy formula listed on here....that will give her 14-16 cal/cc.....you need to be getting 1cc per 1oz body weight every 2 hours around the clock into her for at least 3-4 days....
