Question
Hi! My pit had puppies but one of them is a runt and I have to feed her myself. Im confused on how much I should feed her and how often. I've been feeding her half a table spoon every 2/2 1/2 hrs. I'm worried that Im feeding to often or not enough!?

Answer
Maddy: I hope you are using puppy formula?  
I would think she needs 2-3 ounces every 2 hours.  If she spits some up, that is ok. She will stop taking in the formula when she is full.  She needs formula every 2-3 hours during the night time too...

Good luck , I know this is a bunch of work for you.
Remember, you are her momma now!

Call your area vet if you have any problems.  They will give some advice over the phone.
