sorry it took so long to post anything ...but i have been bottle feeding and we lost one of the pups..it was very weak and always seperatd itself from the rest..he ate and pooped...he was exactly a day old i rushed him to the er and on the way they my bf was performing cpr he was going in and out but we lost him 1 min after we got to the er...they said ther wouldv been nothing they could do even if we got ther sooner...he also had blood coming from his stool so they tested for a virus to make sure the other pups were ok and it came back negative so they said he was probably born with something...so that was very hard on me since i spent 24 hrs wit no sleep nuring them...the mother started to show signs that she may nurse...i now leave them with the mother but she has a muzl on at all times only takes it off to eat and go out to the bathroom...but i go back to the vet with them 2moro to make sure she is nursing them and there oki and i can continue leaving the pups with the mother so il let you know how things go 2moro
