I have a friend who has 1 week old pups...she started with 9 but mom was dried up so 6 died the first night. Three survived until Yesterday...now one is acting just like he did before he passed...She is bottle feeding them with a formula for pups she got at a feed store. She tried to feed them atleast every hour but the pups wont wake to eat so they only eat 3 maybe 4 times a day. She helps them go to the bathroom just like mom and they have no problem..The stools are kinda watery and thick but has little tiny beads in them. My question is...Are these beads normal? Why are they passing away? They are fat and look so healthy... She keeps them in a box next to a heater on a towel. The area is very warm but the pups body temps seem really cold to me...I have been dealin with Kittens for 6 weeks to know that if the area is warm then they stay warm. What can she do to help these babies?

it sounds like the had a diease or worms or something. ur friend should really take them to a vet 'cause it sounds serious. and the beads are NOT normal. they might have malnutrution. u need different dog formulas for different breeds and its best to take them to a vet soon.

Feed the old pups to the new pups.
No wait, that's cannibalism, and it's wrong, right?
