beef liver my smallest pup... the one that came out last with all the drama... well he seems to be still causing drama!! hes not gaining weight. i put him on Troy by himself every 2 hours but he weight is still declining birth he weighed~4.7 3/15~ 4.5 3/16~ 4.1 3/17~ 3.8 Today~3.6 should i try the beef liver? i got some today (do you know how hard that stuff is to find!!!) thanks |
i know what you are going thru. Mine lost almost half their birth weight. I am not sure the beef liver juice is for newborns. I know it is for fading puppies but not sure about newborns. i fed mine 1cc esbilac puppy supplement every hour then went to 1-1/2cc every two hours. i also use pet drops . I put one drop one their tongues in the morning and another in the evening. it builds stregth up so they can nurse. Mine have just today reached their birthweights. they are one week old in the morning. Are you supplementing and are you staying with him while he tries to nurse to make sure the that he isn't so weak, he falls off the teat as soon as you walk away? |
see thats just it. hes not weak. he has just as much energy as the others but not gaining weight. |
Where did you end up getting the beef liver...how long can it stay good? |
i went to one grocery store they did have any then they called the other ones and they didn't have any so i went to a meat market and they had... couldn't find it though. but she finally did. it was frozen. $2.99 lb i got 1lb... it was all together anyway. i don't know hoe=w long. but i suppose a while since its frozen. so does anyone know about newborns getting beef liver broth??/ i'd like to star him on it if i can!!! |
I just want to say that you breeders are so wonderful. You all worry about these little ones just wonderfully. I appreciate your knowledge and commitment to the breed. THANK YOU!!!!!!! |
ok so i just feed him with a dropper and hes already up to 4oz from 3.6 this morning. i know its just got in his tummy but still. he looks fatter and happier already. so i think i'll just start feeding him after he nurses just to mack sure he is getting enough! |
