Update- We lost the runt today which was a surprise because he started out the most active. We are now down to one male and one female. We have decided to start bottle feeding every hour because Mina tends to lay on top of the pups and likes to continuously carry them around the crate and re-position them. Not a good idea for weak pups fighting for their life.
Wouldn't bottle-feed every hour though ... bloat is always a risk ... instead I would tube feed every 3-4 hours, per the article in the database here.
Less chance of bloat.
Did you whelp your pups in a crate? I would try a whelping box next time with the side guards to prevent the pups from being smothered.Originally Posted by QCK23
