2 Papillon pups were born and both were able to feed from the mother. A week & a half passed by, one of the puppies looked smaller than the other one. I observed if he was feeding from the mom, but he wasn't. So I used Esbilac and fed him. On the back, it said to feed the puppy 2 tablespoons (30ml) per 4 ounces of body weight daily. Do you think that's too much for him? He weighs 8.5oz and he looks small. During that night, he started to breathe rapidly & his tummy was sort of bloated. So I stopped feeding him and fed him only 1 tablespoon. We then took him to the vet and she said his heart and lungs sounded good. She told us to help stimulate the puppy when the mom's not around. We went back home and did what she told us to do. So over the night, I fed him Esbilac - 1 tablespoon, b/c I thought 2 tablespoon was too much for him. He still started to breathe rapidly and does anyone know what occurs this? Also, when do I stimulate the puppy? After I'm done feeding or few min later? Thanks
