Puppies that are not getting enough to eat will cry, feel cold and limp. Weighing the pups every day is a good idea. Since it's such a large litter I would feed the four smallest in one setting and then the next set. Make sure you keep the puppies warm enough if Mom's not staying with them. A puppy won't drink from a bottle if it is cold or the formula is not the right temperature. You might look for a product called Milkade which will help the dam produce more milk for large litters. |
