Re: Mother has rejected the runt

Have you milked the Mom for the puppy? The puppy needs to colostrum from Mom, to develop immunities. This is very important.

You need to do this today. Milk as much as you can (even if it's just a few cc's) and put what you don't use in the frig.

Also, you might think of a karo syrup/pedialite mixure every few feedings. This keeps blood sugar and electrolites up. The puppy needs to stay warm and very hydrated the first few days.
