I am so sorry for the losses. 1 ml per ounce of body weight every 3 hours or 1/2 ml per ounce of body weight every 1 1/2 hours, etc. Only feed a warmed solution to a warm puppy - never feed a chilled puppy. Glucose water may be more beneficial at this point than milk replacer. Sometimes just dabbing a bit of Nutrical, Nutristat or Karo corn syrup will give them the strength to nurse. The first 24- 48 hours of Mom's milk (colostrum) is very important to the pup's immune system so try very hard to get them to nurse, rather than supplementing.
