she licks and takes care of the runt and also cuddles with it.everytime i put the runt up to the tit usually she doesn't suck on it. the runt whines and tries to crawl around,but she's not as strong as the others yet. when she does latch on to the tit the other pups push her away. and she gets pushed aside. when i bottle feed it casey( my mama dog) licks it. i think she's trying to make it pee and poop. she cuddles with it, sometimes it's further away than the others are to her. i guess what i really am trying to ask is......is the runt going to be ok or does it sound like casey is trying to push it away because she know somethings wrong with it and i'm messing her up by trying to keep her alive? this is our first time ever breeeding our dog and the runt it the cutest one, i just want everything to be ok with her. please give me some goos feed back!!

If the runt is able to eat and the mother is looking after it, and it sounds like she is, it should live. Just keep helping the puppy out by making sure it gets a turn to eat and everything should be fine.
If necessary, keep on bottle feeding the puppy and make sure the mom is cleaning it.

you'll probably have to care for it yourself. it's not the mom pushing it out if she is still licking it but the litter mates.
