I am so sorry for your loss, but want to tell you that you sound like a wonderful step-mother

If they're fat and growing you must be doing something right

I started Tallys puppies on rice baby cereal and goats milk, they are 5 weeks now and still have no teeth but they are doing pretty good eating canned puppy food.

I am so sorry to hear the tragic news about Shelbie. Bless her heart...and yours too. The babies look darling and healthy...you're doing a great job. Shelbie would be proud of you for sure!! Big hugs! I would have killed the fox too!

I am so sorry to hear about all this and I do not blame your hubby for killing the fox as I sure would have done the same thing.
Hope the pups are eatting better for you.

As for your babies-they are past the age where they need to be bottle fed. They can be started on gruel or mush or whatever some want to call it. Here is what I do--I use Royal Canine Baby kibble (it is new and I used the puppy food before that)..I put it in a plastic bag and beat it with a hammer to make a really coarse meal. I use Pedigree canned lamb and rice puppy food, a little formula and some yogurt or cottage cheese. Make the mixture soupy and make sure you feed them with really warm food. Start by sticking the tip of your finger in the food and then into their mouth. They will soon learn to eat from a baby spoon OR set the flat plate of food on something that will raise it about an inch off the floor. They do less walking thru it that way and can eat it easier. I stick the plate on the chin of each baby and let them get the smell of the food. IF they are not eating as much as you think, and BTW, they might eat only a teaspoon 3-4 times a day, add some NurtiStat to the mix. You can make the mixture thin enough to syringe feed them if needed..
If you would like to chat let me know and I will PM my phone number to you....I hope this has been of help to you but I will be willing to help any other way I can...give those fat tummies little respberries from Rini's cuties...

This is GREAT....and Rini...you're the best.....Reading such details must be so comforting for her and that is some good information. Everyone is always so quick to help here....

I am so, so sorry for your loss of little Shelbie. It's so heartbreaking but she was so lucky to be so loved, even if it was for so short a time. Her babies are gorgeous and so blessed to have you and your husband to love them! God bless you ... we will keep you all in our prayers. Thank you so much for letting us watch your babies grow up!
