I just saw your thread and am so sorry.
How are the pups doing today? The little one you spoke of, is she eating better yet? While nursing, do you ever notice any milk coming out of her nose? One problem with a pup not nursing could be a cleft pallate.
Also, if your in need of a recipe for weak pups, I used this recipe for 13 weeks. Its high claorie and worked wonders for me:
1 can of evaporated milk
1 table spoon real mayo
1 cup of whole plain Yogaurt (not low fat)
1/2 tablespoon of karo surup
1 egg yolk
Mix all together with a wisk and store refridgerated for up to 7 days. Warm formula like you would for a babies bottle.
Also, I've had best results using human premie nipples. The bottle they sell for pets just don't work well.
Good luck! |
