It's good that your breeder gave you so many supplies; including the baby food. When I brought Muffin home, the next morning, she was unresponsive so I called my breeder and she walked me thru the trauma. Get a syringe with Karo syrup & get as much into the mouth as possible. Wait 5min, try more syrup, wait for response, add more syrup until you see movement; then try getting it to eat: put finger full of babyhood into mouth, that should help revive a little more. Try to feed as much as possible. After Muffin got the taste of the babyhood, she was up & eating on her own, then I gave her NutraCal every 2 hrs for the rest of the day. She was good to go after that. We only had one small incident a week later but giving her the the syrup & then NutriCal, she was fine.
I don't envy you trying to potty train 2 puppies but it can be done with lots of patience. Good luck with your precious babes! And good health!!!

If a pup becomes unresponsive you should not use a syring to put stuff in their mouth because they can choke or aspirate it and cause bigger issues. You should use a finger to put some nutrical in their mouth and then rush them to the vet asap. There is not real need to use Karo and nutrical just one.
