You need to go to the pet store and get milk replacement formula- this is just like the mother's milk and has lots of nutrients. Also, buy a few puppy feeding bottles and medicine droppers. The puppies need to be fed every 2 to 3 hours including at night.
Do NOT feed the puppies cow milk because it does not contain enough nutrients for the puppies to survive.
Also, make sure the puppies are in a warm place and consider getting a heating pad from the pet store and placing it under their dog bed because they cannot control their body temperature until around 3 weeks of age.
At 4 weeks of age you can wean them onto solid dog food. Get dry puppy food and soak it in warm water for a few minutes and then drain it so it is soft enough for the puppies to chew. When they are 12 weeks old you can find them homes.
Contact a vet if the mother dog is acting ill or you have any more trouble with the puppies.

Call your vet. The vet will instruct you what to do. I know the puppies have to be on a specific formula made for puppies that are not being fed by their mother. If you don't call the vet, all the puppies will die. Also they should be kept in a warm invironment with no drafts or cold spots in the room, preferably in a cardboard box with blankets and maybe a hot water bottle. The most important thing for you to do is immediately call your vet and bring the puppies in.

the mom and pups should be taken to the vets immediately there is usually a reason for a mom to reject all or there may be something wrong with her.
either puppy replacement or goats milk. If they are that young then you will be better with a eyedroper.they should be fed every 2 hours and don't forget to stimulate them to go to the bathroom
if you need anythign else email me at kathy_decaprio@yahoo.com
if you have an eye dropper available youmight want to try to give them some water just to prevent them from dehydrating you may also want to give them sonme honey to boost them a littlebut just as a quick fix before you leave to go get teh milk needed

If one puppy is dead...the others are not far from it. I would take them to the vet asap....after the vet stabilizes them...you will need to bottle feed them every 2 hours with milk replacer bought at a pet supply store.

You can use the canned goat milk available in a grocery store.Mix it half and half with sterile water and feed pups every two hours.Also place a dab of plain honey on each pups tongue,this will perk them up.You will need to feed the pups about 3 cc of milk each with a 3 cc syringe.Don't forget to stimulate pups gentles so they will eliminate urine and stool with a warm soaked wash cloth each time you feed them.

Shouldn't you be taking your dog and puppies to the vet? Why the hell did you breed you dog? Why isn't she spayed? You don't have a clue about breeding yet you irresponsible owner let your dog get pregnant and have puppies.
Well here you are in a situation that you should have never let your dog be in. Your dog and puppies are suffering because of your irresponsibility not to mention your bringing more unwanted, unneeded dogs into the world.
Healthy, adoptable, happy dogs are being put down everyday
because there are to many dogs and not enough homes. The biggest contributor to the over population of dogs is backyard breeder like yourself. GET YOUR DOG SPAYED!
Number one reason for the deaths of healthy dogs--EUTHANASIA!!!!!!!! Think about it.

They should be feed like every two hours they eat so much when they are born. You should go to the pet store and they should have formulas for them its a streesing job but you really don't want them to die. Sometimes that happens the mother might reject her babies

Every 2 hours. Milk replacer. NOW! Go to the vet and get IV if you can.. You are going to lose them all to dehydration. They are more likely to dehydrate than starve in a short period
