| I will pray for your little Livi and the puppies also. I hope she gets checked and treated quickly. Hugs to you. I'm so sorry you and Livi are going through this scare!

I know that you are already aware of this, but keep in mind that depending on what the vet decides, IF Livi is not able to feed the pups for a considerable amount of time, tube feeding would be a better option for the pups than using an eyedropper. It's an option in a pinch, but not ideal for more than a couple feedings. Last edited by BamaFan121s; 01-27-2010 at 07:22 AM. | |

Guys, I am sooooooo upset that I still know nothing about Livi! I am going to call after trying to feed the babies. For anyone thinking of breeding....I did the research, I put the time in reading/learning/asking questions, many thoughts, prayers. I did a ton to prepare and this is still happening....PLEASE DO NO BREED UNLESS YOU ARE 110% READY FOR ALL THAT I AM NOW FACING!!!!!!! | |

| Try attaching the nipple to a syringe...... Start out with 1 or 2 cc every two hours...... A six ounce pup should be fed 45 cc daily 12 feedings per day (3.75 cc per feeding). Don't be surprised as they grow that they are taking more than 45 cc per feeding.

| Prayers for Livi and the pups and you! Sometimes changing the position of how you hold the pup as you try to feed them... normal to try to hold them belly up so you can see if their taking it, if not flip hand over so tummy is down and offer some that way. Also keep pups and food warm, use a thermometer to get it about 104 degrees. Always test on your arm. I used to set up 3 syringes in hot water, and rotate cause they will cool down quickly. Above all be patient, it can take 5-6 tries to get them to eat from a syringe/nipple.

| Just now logged in and seeing this. I am praying for your sweet Livi that she will be ok. I am also sending prayers for you little puppys that they will latch on and start eating. Sending prayers to the vet to hurry up and find out what is wrong with poor little Livi and get her better, her babies and you need her. I can't imagine what you must be going through right now.
