Help Mom Doesn't have Milk

Unfortunately I know quite a bit about this subject. Last year, the mother of our pups passed away in the middle of the night. We believe it was an anurism, or some sort of random seizure. We were so devestated. She was our little girl. The pups were 4wks old. We rushed to Petsmart as soon as we could gather all the puppies up (she had 6 pups!) and place a blanket over our sweet Princess before we could bury her. We bought Esbilac Powder by Pet Ag, and mixed it with warm water, and softened puppy chow every 3hrs. When they got to be 6wks we changed the Esbilac Powder to Puppy Second Step by Pet Ag with warm water, and softened puppy chow. Then we took out more and more of the powder, until it was only water, and puppy chow, and then we took the water out completely, and they ate dry puppy chow. We still have one of the puppies, and she is 6 months old now. I keep in close contact with the other puppy owners, and all are great. Good luck with your litter, and PM me if you need more info.

Excellent! Congrats! Oh, and I forgot to mention in my last post, the puppy we kept is 5.5lbs!! She's a big girl.
