Hi Bernard,

The following web site has reliable information (including charts that tell you how much to feed) your new born pups:

If your bitch is willing to feed her litter, allow her to! That will ensure the puppies get the nutrition they need. Her maternal instincts might kick in if she's allowed to care for her puppies, but of course, keep an eye on her, and be ready to step in as needed.

If you have additional questions, your best bet for a quick answer is to call your vet's office. New born pups are fragile, you don't want to get things wrong!

Best of luck,
Patti
