| 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? |
