help!! lost momma dog My mom's Gracie was killed today the puppies are only 9 days old. Can someone let us know how to feed and take care of them. We know that they have to cleaned and warm. We are just devasted by this and need some help. Thank Mina |
Oh how tragic! I'm so sorry for the loss of Gracie:( I'm not a breeder, never had puppies of my own but I would guess you'll have to bottle feed them. The vet should have puppy formula to use. I know there are wonderfully great breeders on here who will be able to give better advice than me. Best of luck and sending prayers out. |
I am so sorry about your loss!! Yes warm and cleaned - stimulated to pee and poop everytime you feed them. There are many more experienced breeders here who I am sure will help a lot!! Do you have puppy formula and bottles - bottles with human premie nipples tend work really well. I know alot of people have issues with the ones made for animal babies. It is about 1 ml per ounce of weight spread out for the day. I am not sure how often to feed at this age - every two or three hours I think is a good rule of thumb. Your vet should be able to advise you and I do know you never want to feed them upright - on a firm surface with them on all fours is important. Like I said I am sure someone with more experience will give more advice!! I hope I helped a little and good luck with those babies!! |
I'm soo sorry! that's terrible. I would advise you to start a thread in the breeders section. They will help you. |
Oh, how very tragic! Please take the pups to the vet asap. Explain on the phone what happened and how old the pups are. They will show you exactly what to do with those poor little orphans in regard to their feeding and pottying. I hope your Mom doesn't have a job....these pups will need around the clock care for some time yet. I am so sorry for everyone's loss. I know she must be totally devestated and scared for the pups survival. She can do it, but it will take a lot of work. Hopefully there will be family or friends that will help her. Please let us know how the pups are doing. |
I am so very sorry about Gracie. I am sure there are plenty of people here who can assist you. Good luck with your babies. I would also post in the breeders section. They could certainly help. |

Keeping them clean and warm is a part of what you must do....Do you or does your vet have the bitches formula? Also I use a qtip and put it in warm water to stimulate them to pee pand poop by rubbing the qtip gently over both areas. This works great. I would keep them warm on some type of a heating pad. And feed them every two hours. I am so sorry for your loss of the mom and hope all goes well with you and keeping them alive. Prayers and thoughts are with you. |
that was so sweet of you,, i had chills just now... bless you |
What an offer! I sure hope she logs back on and sees your message....shows how much you truly care for all of our babies:) |
How heartbreaking about Gracie. Kimberly...that is so nice of you to offer help! I hope she comes back to find your post! Poor little orphans. |
