One casualty already

It's sad to tell you that I discovered one of the puppies died this morning. Not sure if the mom had weight herself under the baby or died from starvation. So I went to buy a bottle feeder for the pups and they were so hungry. She may have milk but not for all them. As I recall I have to feed them every four to five hours a day or something. I hope the other five survives, this was totall unexpected. Maybe that new shelter was a bad idea.

That is really bad that you’ve lost one. l guess you will have to manually feed them from now on dince the mom could not provide them milk.

Sorry to hear about that. Good that you decided to feed the puppy by feeder instead of waiting for the mom to feed them.

@Letranknight2015 well you can’t really know exactly when they give birth. Maybe that pup has congenital problems.

It was unfortunate that I didn't prepare myself before she gave birth that pup would have been saved @flapiz

Puppy may die if it's overfed with milk. Too much milk is not good for milk. It will affect their pancreas.
