| Hi, I am so glad to hear that your Livi is ok. Things like that are so scary . . . and now your work has just begun with the puppies. I would imagine that they are going to tell you tomorrow that she cannot nurse her puppies. If so, my one tip would be to make sure you have a very good scale and start weighing them 3-4 times a day. A gram scale works well. Keep a journal with the weights. Also record the exact amount each puppy eats and the time of the feeding. This will make it easier for you to make adjustments. There are some great small animal nipples made for feeding wildlife. I just did a quick google search and found this link. I am sure there are many more, and you can sometimes find things like this at a farmer's supply or feed store. Squirrel and animal feeding nipples These will fit on the end of a syringe and I think they work better than nipples made for human infants/premies. I have had great luck with goat's milk from the grocery store in situations like this. I hope this helps you a little. Sleep whenever you can! You will need it. Best wishes!

| Tammy, wow, I am just now seeing this!! I am soooo glad Livi is doing better and on the road to recovery. What a scare!! It sure has been a stressful week for you. If you have to feed her babies I would use a syringe or a dropper. You can control the flow better and it's easier to get them to take plus you will know exactly how much they are getting. Just don't forget to rub their tummies afterwords. Sending hugs to you and Livi!! Keep us updated on her progress!!

| Tammy, I have been away for a few days and am just now reading this. I am sorry to hear about Livi and the puppies. I am glad that she is doing better. If you recall, this happened to Ellie (the eclampsia) earlier in December. Well, we hand raised our litter. I went to Wal-Mart and got the premie bottles and fed them with those. It worked great for us using the goats milk to equal parts water. The babies will be 11 weeks old this Saturday. If you need any advice, or someone to lean on, please pm me and I will give you my private email address. You can do this. I hope that Livi continues to do well.
