| He did make it thru the night, we got him to eat a little bit. Mom is taking care of his peeing and pooping. He is hanging in there, but he is very weak so I am trying to not get my hopes up. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers, we won't give up until he does! Martha |

| I have tube fed, I know many do not like to do this, it is scary and serious, and needs to be done right. But we saved a little one tube feeding every two hours, for two weeks, she suvived when the odds were against her..she weighs 4 pounds today..she weighed 2 oz at birth and her sibling weighed almost 6. that is the only way I know how to do it and get the right amount into a tiny puppy. |

| I think you need to tube feed him too. Yes, there are complications that can arise from it, but the risks are far outweighed. Tube feeding gets the food directly into the tummy so he doesn't even have to try. It's the best way on a weak pup. At least he made it through the night so he has a bit of fight left in him!

| I agree tube feed. Then you can be sure how much he is getting too. Watch out for dehydration. Even when you are getting formula in them it can still happen. I hate giving fluids subQ, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to give a puppy a chance. I had one little girl that was only 4 oz at 4 3 weeks. I fed her for a week, but still lost her. On the bright side, I have had others that were little and was able to save them. I have a tiny boy that is 10 weeks old and just made it to 1 pound. We celebrated!!! |

| He's Hungry!! Just as I was wondering where to take him to get some help with maybe tubefeeding this little guy, he decided he was hungry and wanting to actually suck it down by himself! I know he still has a ways to go to be sure he is going to make it, but I am so relieved to have him starting to show improvement. He still weighs 7.4 oz., so he hasn't lost any, but hasn't gained any either so that is the goal now to get some weight on him! He is starting to get his eyes open also, his sisters have been for several days now. I told my daughter today that he was getting better thanks to everyone here and all your good thoughts and prayers, thank you all so much! |
