I used to raise Poms and I had a litter that was 13 days early. I know this sound unconventional but it worked for me. I had a cat that had a litter of kittens 2 days before. Only one of the pups was born alive and I gave the pup to the cat. She took it in and nursed it. She could tell it was not like her other babies and was super protective of him. That pup celebrated his 7th bday this Jan. If you do not have a cat--call the vet and see if he knows of where one might be that has just given birth. The cat owner would probably be willing to give it a go! Good Luck!
