Question

Answer 1

call thee vet immediately... you will have to use some sort of formula and an eye dropper to feed them every two hours... this happened to my cat... I had to use baby formula!!!

Answer 2

Kepp bottle feeding the puppies.You have to get up during the night to do this as well.you should do this every couple of hours.and Always boil your water before using - allow it time to cool .always burp the pupies after feeding them.
A pup may have little bubbles by his mouth but there should not be milk running out of his mouth.
When the bottle is held upside down the milk should drip out - NOT FLOW OUT in a stream - pups that get milk in their lungs will get pneumonia and more than likely die.Calorie intake needs to be adjusted according to growth of puppies. A general rule of thumb (unless someone has a better idea) is 1 CC per OZ. of body weight every 3 hours.
You must have an accurate scale to weigh pups if you are going to get the best success. Use a kitchen food scale. The ones with grams is what we use in our kennel. It is easy to see any weight gain or loss. Keep a record that you can easily refer to.


about the mother bring her to the vet or call it because it might be clogging which will hurt her!!Signs of that she has milk are if the nipples are bigger than what they have before she got pregant and saggy!!

but keep the puppies with the mother for the times your not feeding them

good look and I hope no more of them die on you!!

p.s for the people and any more people that are going to give out to you for not bringing her to the vet forget bout them.just do what I say!!



EDIT: try this
10 oz. of canned evaporated milk or goat's milk (not pasteurized cow's milk - this will cause scowers - dogs cannot drink normal cow's milk) Goats milk is by far the best to use. Wall Mart sells it.
3 oz. sterilized water (baby water or boiled water) this is not needed if using goat's milk
1 raw egg yolk
1 cup of whole yogurt (avoid skim or fat free if at all possible)
1/2 Tsp Karo Syrup or Corn Syrup (NOT HONEY !!!)

Place ingredients in a blender and blend or use a wire whisk. Be careful to not over blend and create a milk shake full of bubbles and then tube bubbles into the puppy.
Keep cool and discard leftovers after 7 days.
Warm formula to body temperature (dogs are around 101 degrees). Discard any un-used formula. This is a thick mixture - use a stomach tube to tube feed or enlarge the hole in the nipple for easy access for the pup.

Answer 3

Is the mother bagging (full of milk) and nothing will come out? If so, then she needs warm compressions on her tummy. To do this, place a very warm wet washcloth on her tummy and let it sit there until it starts to cool. After a compression, massage the "breasts" in a circular motion to break up the milk. I would do this about every half hour or until you can call the vet. If this is the case, then be very careful...mastitis can set in and make her very sick.

Answer 4

take her to the vet, it may be a blockage and that would be causing her pain,
please keep bottle feeding the puppies, make sure they are safe and warm, there are a few guides on what times to feed puppies if their mother is dead or unable to feed.

take them all to the vet asap!

im sorry to hear about the one who passed away.

Answer 7
