newborn pomeranian puppies

Question
Our 2 year old 5.9 lbs pomeranian gave birth to 4 puppies.  The smallest weighs 74 grams and largest 89 grams.  The are 4 1/4 - 4 1/2 inches in length.  Should be be feeding them as we're not sure they are getting enough milk from Mother.

Answer
Hi Angela -  You can buy some puppy formula and start to supplement them.  It would be about 1-2 cc by syringe every 2 hrs, as tolerated.  You may want to call your local vet for more advice.  They also may have a good formula for your to purchase.

Best Wishes!!!
