But the Mother is dried up I tried to get the little girl to suck on Mom but she didn't want to so I checked her and realized that she didn't have any Milk , So I immediately fed the other 3 puppies they have been eating royal canine with warm water for a week now. Just twice a day. I called my vet and they said that it is Ok as long as the pups are eating on their own. What do you guys think? Oh and these puppies are alot tinier then my other pups at 6 weeks. Mom is 4lbs and Dad is 3Lbs. Pups weigh between 9ounces and 14 ounces. So I think they will be the tiny.

oh watch your babies carefully. Annika's mom's milk dried out during the night and so she lost 2 of her babies . . .Annika nearly died but I guess she hanged on tight and was told she's a fighter. They fed her and another puppy (that survived) milk using a syringe. Whew, it was such a close call then . . . but now she is alright and growing beautifully at 7 months old.
