 pups
Just because you can not express milk does not mean mom does not have any. Milk tends to "let down" as the pups nurse..I could not get milk out of alot of my moms, but the pups grew and were happy.
The pups need to nurse on mom, the more they do, the more milk will come in...are they content, warm and not crying..if so they are getting enough food..you say they are gaining each day..some lose the first day and start gaining the second..so you are ahead.
I am not an eye dropper user JMO..too easy to asperiate the milk..a hungry pup will most always nurse a bottle..a not so hungry won't..they do not sound hungry to me. Keep them warm and weigh them..not sure what 4 times a day will tell you..the amount may be so small you can not see a gain and panic..AM/PM works well..but simply a matter of opinion.
Look for a "breeder friendly" vet if you breed again..some are not in favor of breeding and make it hard to get good answers and help.
