| 2 day old pup week, fading help!!!! Took to the vet she said yes the pup was week low heart beat. He was nursing and doing great, when I came home I noticed that the female was full and the male was skinny , Not been eating. I took and pup him on moms chest , he tryed to nurse but just kept droping his head after a minute looking around for another. but still really not sucking. I hear reaspy lung. but vet did not seem to hear it. She gave him clavamox, Said to keep him warm he is on a heating pad. Gave him some nutrical and expressed moms milk and gave him 1cc. Any other things I should to to help him survive??????Blondschillin |

| I am not a breeder so I have no idea what to do. Sounds like you have really tried and to just follow the vet's advice is all I would know to do. I would call back and let them know about what you hear in his chest. (raspy sound) Doesn't sound good. I would think something needs to be done about that asap. Hope the little thing makes it. Thats why I could never be a breeder. If I lost one it would just kill me. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Since she has plenty...I'd suggest tube feeding him. Do NOT feed him if he is cold.

| The grocery store sells goats milk. You can use reg. goats milk. I used it with 1 day old pups that were abandoned. They did perfectly fine and grew into sweet dogs. |

| Male pup Well stayed up most the night hand feeding the pup till he started sucking the food down himself. I used Goats Milk condensed. Put half milk half water and also mixed in the beef liver remedy which was posted on here for week pups , but I used 1/2 a dropper full not 4 drops, and to my suprise he is nursing and active again. That worked wonderful. I used a eyedropper. oh yes and nutrical every 4 hours. Hopefully he will remain eating and thriving. Thanks everyone for the response. Blondschillin |
