The pups should be eating 4 to 5 cc. every three hours. (approx. 30 cc in one ounce) You must be meaning 3 cc's not 3 oz. The amount would be the same whether you were bottle feeding or tube feeding. Continue to check their weights - it sounds like you are doing a great job and before you know it they will be eating on their own.
102 isn't a fever in a dog, but I would check her temp. again to make sure it hasn't went up since Tuesday.
