need some advice for newly born puppies the puppies are having trouble nursing. her nipples are not very pronounced at all and the puppies won't open there mouths when I put them on her nipples. they are also not finding it on their own. I don't know what to do. any advice? |
You might try putting a little puppy forumla on the nipple before you try to put the pup on. You might have to hold it there until it nurses. It can take them a few times to catch on. |
alright, I will try that. they are just whining and looking for it but when I put it in their face, they don't want it. |
They should get the hang of it. I had to hold my puppies heads still the first week, since they were so small, and I dropped some formula in the corner of their mouths to get them to suck and help their mom produce milk. Now they are the fattest things you've ever seen. Good luck, it just takes a little time. |
you can also dip your pinky in some caro corn syrup and place a drop on thier tongue. place a drop on mom's teats as well and then place the pup on mom. they should find it then |
If you have NutriDrops, you might want to put a drop on your finger and rub it on their gums.m For this some reason it gives a pup extra strenght. If mom's breasts are too engourged with milk, it may not give them enough access to the nipple, you may have to gentle manipulate the breast to make it softer. |
