The last question about the puppy that wasn't eating. I thought the same thing, it turned out it just didn't want to eat when the others did. I would keep an eye on him though. Notice which one it is.. different markings, size, etc. and if he always seems to be the one not eating I would put him on myself, and make sure the others aren't pushing him off. If that doesn't work I would start puppy formula. They have the powdered form that lasts longer. I always use it especially as the puppies get bigger and Mom doesn't seem to produce enough milk. How old are they by the way? Much Luck to You!
I'm jealous I miss my puppies, they all have new homes now!

Thank you. They are about 12 hours old. The bathroom they are in is actually very big, with a big walk in shower. They are in an area away from the airvent. I think it is the warmest spot for them and the least busy. One of the babies seemed to have lost his way from the others, and was crying. When we tried to put him on the Mom he didn't want to eat. I am thinking it is the same one that didn't eat earlier, but I could be wrong. I am going to mark them all now with their weights so I can keep better track. The Vet said a scale wasnt necessary and that he would just weigh them, but I see now how WRONG he was. I just went back in, and none of them were crying, they were all climbing on the Mom, and seemed happy although they weren't eating. Do you think they are OK as long as they are not crying? I know the weight gain would be a great sign that all is well, but I won't be able to tell by that till later today, if they even gain in the first day.
I do have puppy milk, and will use it if I need to. I just don't want to jump in too soon.
Thank you, I love this board and everyone on it!
