Oh this is good. They do need to get mom and pup to the vet soon to have them checked out though.

We do have our own vet, and I would have taking them this morning, but I don't want to do anything without their approval.

I would ask her if she wants you to take them in to be checked.
mom and baby really should be seen. just to be safe.

Oh and while you have them You just have to snap a few pictures of the baby and mom too

I highly recommend taking mom and baby in to be checked. I can tell you several stories of how fast these babies can crash on you. I myself have had experiences of this as well as several of my breeder friends. Please don't overlook the need for proper vet care!

Definitely, they just got home, the baby is not latching on, I rub some Nutrical on his gums and some on the bottle and he drank, he is hungry, how much should I give him?.Some one mentioned every two hours?

You should NOT give nutrical to a newborn puppy. You can use nutri-drops or some karo on his gums. Feed him approx. 1 1/2 cc's to 2cc's every 2 to 3 hours. Look at his tummy and watch it before and after he eats to get a better idea of what it looks like full for next feeding.

Don't have Karo, any other substitutes?

Just checking in to see how the baby is doing.. lots of good advice..I am glad so far all is going well...I too say get to the vet to have baby checked..if baby is not latching on.. there could be a problem. please keep us updated..
You did well for your friend last night. Extremely well...you need those scales to weigh baby.. and keep track of his weight.. before and after he eats..

the baby is asleep now, mom is resting.It's not even my dog and just the feeling of looking how that mom takes cares of her pup is overwhelming , the responsibility of taking care of both of them and making sure they are well, I don't understand how some people do this irresponsibly just to profit from it

he is not latching, but when I gave the bottle he drank, so he was hungry

Check to see if mom's milk has came in. She may not be producing enough milk for him yet. Just give a little squeeze and try to let the milk drip alittle and see if he will latch on then.
