will that hurt?they brought a little bottle with formula, i read it should be kept in the ref., but isn't that too cold to give the puppy?they did not bring extra bottles, and like a baby I like to wash the nipple and bottle after every feeding:confused: |

You're doing a great job helping your friend. Don't give up on getting her to latch on. I would in a way flatten the teat. Get a good hold of it from an inch or so behind the nipple. Pry the mouth open and shove it all the way in there. They need it far back so they can start move it into proper position, hitting the roof of the mouth when they suck. |
Debbie, Susan,Anne and the rest are all giving you great info. All I will add is its very important for a puppy to latch on to get colostrum, even if her milk is not in yet. So keep trying :D And you are such a great friend |
I'm not a good friend, I'm just a very happy grandma:p Max is very territorial, but this time, he only wants to lay beside the box where Cloe and the baby are.I took some pic's but my camera is acting up, so will have to wait until this afternoon for my son's camera |
his next feeding will be in a 30 min. after that I'll go to petco and get my own supplies.thanks debbie for your good advise. |
well ladies...we did it!!! either the honey, the saliva, the puppy formula..I don't know,I'm sure the good thoughts worked their magic, but he finally latched on, when he sucks, I could hear him strong, but after a while he got tired, since I was not able to tell how much he had drank I tried with the formula and he wouldn't take it, his stomach looks round, so I guess he is satisfied . |
That is great news!! Yeah. Good job. (Oh and just a little late, but couldn't resist welcoming him to the world) :bigbdaypa:bigbdaypa:bigbdaypa:bigbdaypa:bigbdaypa :bigbdaypa |
