Take care of the last three. Very heartbreaking to loose any pup.

What great news! Im so happy for you.

I want to give a humble suggestion for the puppies

.........since the puppies are young, after feeding them moist food, chase it with some fluid, whether pedialyte or formula. To help clear their throat and keep them hydrated.
Sounds like an excellent vet you found.

Sending good wishes your way.

I am so happy to hear that your other babies are doing well!!! Did the vet give you additional droppers for their meds?...... Just a thought since things can become contaminated. I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope the vet finds what caused it. Take care. You are and you babies are in my thoughts and prayers.

Do as your vet suggested and give the food first, not the formula - If you feel a need to give formula - use it for the "water" in the food and make a really soupy gruel. Also you need to introduce them to water and be leaving it out at all times. Get one of those wide based anti tip stainless steel bowls, not plastic because of bacteria. Feed 5 times a day and if everyone is eating there is no need for the bottle feeding regularly throughout the day.

It could be the ones that died have liver shunts or some other internal problems. I have never had any valuable information come from a bird or dog autopsy. I don't think most vets do enough of them to have any real knowledge.

I'm so happy to hear the 3 puppies are eating and doing well! You are doing a great job with those babies and I'm sure the worst is over now. Can't wait to see pics of those little ones.
