From Ketka Kennels For a lactating bitch that has insufficient milk for puppies: A shot of oxytocin. However, the bitch often will not recover. If she does it will not be for a few days. I would take those pups and start tubing (feeding) them 100%. Day and night. Get fluids into them sub-q ASAP. For feeding... Rule of thumb is 1cc per ounce of body weight every 2 to 3 hrs. Give electrolytes (CVS brand Pedialyte- plain) to start... then go to formula. My favorite formula is Just Born made by Farnum. Also give a TINY spot of yogurt from the tip of your finger every other day. KEEP THEM WARM! Even if it means taking them from Mom. A cold puppy cannot absorb any food. Potty them at each feeding. Cottonballs... wetted lightly will do the trick. Do not rub but rather hold cotton to the body and message. I know you alreay know a lot of this Joan.... just took the opportunity to share some knowledge.
