bottle feeding 10 day old puppies

[disconnected]

I cannot BELIEVE how cruel people can be.

I know I'm gonna be pretty tired the next few days.

Feedings every 2 hours.

One has eyes open which is good.

More wonderful news.

A vet took 3 off my hands to be tube fed. (which is less risky re: aspiration of fluid for puppy) God bless that vet!!!

It is a BIG task to feed even 1 small puppy let alone 4 with one having problems.

I have kept the one with it's eyes open, since it seems to be the most mature.

I will post pics when my camera recharges.

She's a doll.

Same silver as my weimrener but with zebra striping.

I look forward to those pictures. I had to handraise some tiny baby jackrabbits once. Fortunately rabbits only nurse for 10 days or so.....

Aww, how sweet of you to take on the task! I hope they do well for you. I've bottle raised a host of animals and it's so rewarding. (Well, the oppossum was a little mean. )

ok if they are ten days old then you wont have to bottel feed for more than another one to two weeks, then you will have to start the prosses of wenning wich in most cases is not as hard as it seems.

Dont worry becouse naturealy the mother wouldent keep brest feeding for more that a week after there eyes have opend.

when it comes time to start wenning the ones that you do have just pm me or something and i will explane the prosses as i have rasied pupies befor.

I probably seem calloused- but living on a farm, sometimes you have to deal with animals dying. When you have too many animals for the mom to feed, the best thing to do sometimes, is to put them down. (in fact, my own father has had to take care of some puppies this year- our dog needs to be fixed- and we are still saving the money for it- this is the second litter of puppies she's had this year... and there were way more than she had nipples for. So some died, and others lived. but they were killed almost immediately after they were born- we didn't wait around for them to get their senses developed.

It is disgusting how so many governments have laws against killing animals, while they allow people to murder their own children.
