I don't know how people bear with losing children because I know I will be sad for a long time about this little puppy. I have 4 more, 2 girls and 2 boys. one boy and one girl are also pretty small but they are eating mommy's milk. I was up until now..3:30 am....to make sure they all ate. the smallest girl which im also worried about is eating, but i have to help her out finding the nipple. She sucked on it for about 30 mins...is that normal??? Now she's sleeping. I hope that the rest of these little sweeties will be healthy. I'm so sad though.

Little pups unable to latch on may need to be tube fed until they have the capability to nurse.
