New Puppies loosing weight... HELP! Penelope's puppies were born Thursday. One boy and One girl. In the past 3 days they have lost some weight. Is this normal in the first few days? Day 1 - (Born) 4.0 ounces each Day 2 - 3.9 ounces each Day 3 - Today 3.5 ounces each |
pm feminvstr, her name is Kimberly, she will help you ! Good luck with the Babies ! |
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. |

Any ideas? Am I doing this right? |
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. |
