| Does the mom seem to have plenty of milk? Are the puppies able to latch on and suck? Is the momma eating well? Is the momma staying with the puppies? |

| Weight loss is normal the first day. Like maybe a tenth of an ounce or so. not much. but after that they should start having a steady gain. Ditto what Barbara said. You might have to move the larger ones back and put the little ones on first. |

| revivalpet.com has them and they can be over night shipping... use karo until you get them. as I said before the biggest fear is dehydration...they all need to be fed every two hours...at least 2-3 cc per feeding, either tube, bottle or syringe feed them.
