O.K. I've done this a hundred times but never on a yorkie pup so not sure. It is the smallest of the litter he weighs 2 ounces and he looks thin. He was born yesterday and he seems to act fine but his tummy doesn't look full at all. So I tried to supplement but not sure if he got any. How big of a whole should I put in the nipple? I punctured it with a needle a couple of times but he still doesn't look like he's getting any. Also how much in cc should i give him? I've never supplemented a small breed before. Thanks so much.
