I, personally, would only test the Mom. I think a vet will charge you for each sample.

is there anyway that the mom doesnt have it and one of the pups has it bc they were with the father also he doesnt have worms anymore but like someon stated that if they lick there paws then the pups could get it through a simple kiss

I guess it is possible, but with the intimate contact of Moms and babies doubtful. If one has it, they all do. The greatest risk is going to come from the Mom herself that is why I test the Mom. Even though you are handfeeding it is very possible they got worms during gestation especially if you have never had your Mom tested or regularly dewormed.

From what I remember, your post said pooing and peeing on themselves, not by theirselves
Usually the books say they don't start performing this (without stimulation) until 3 weeks, I guess you have advanced puppies!

Of couse, this would be considered normal, but peeing on themselves would not.

yeah i thought it was on themselves but now they come out of their kennel and pee and go back in and i stimulate them and when i put them down they go poo on ther own...they opened their eyes early and are licking already
