Where do you live? I have a mommy that just had 6 babies and she's pretty healthy. She weighed 8 lbs before she got pregnant. She lost 2, they were stillborn. This is her first litter and I started her on Pet-Cal the night she finished delivering. She's a mature mother with a loving nature and she went through six heats before I bred her. I've been taking her and the babies with me to work and checking on them every couple of hours to make sure she and pups are o.k. Some of my co-workers would check on her when I was busy and made sure the pups were latched on to mommy. They were born on the 10th and are fine (Thank God). Just had their tails cut yesterday. Stay encouraged and try to get help if you can. The good thing is...the puppies are full-term. Keep them warm, get premie nursers from a baby store or from a local hospital with a nursery, goats milk or premie milk works wonders, massage their genital with warm cotton balls. Do everything you can to save them. Your Ponytail Polly is so00....proud of you..
