THis little bugger is a fighter...I will pray for her daily. And I am NOT Awesome..I am just someone that read the worry in your words and said it couldn't hurt to try. I am so glad you did it. Tubing a pup is NOT hard, here is a link to an actual video with someone explaining... http://www.naturalholistic.com/tubefeeding.html but, I got my experience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at our Hospital. 90% of the Newborns that we saw in that Unit were Tube fed. I worked there for 8 1/2 yrs. I think I could tube feed in my sleep. God Bless your baby. Kiss her for me. Tari Kridler Home of 2003 Amer & Can GVX Kridler's Ruby and her Father 2 x Sel.

She told me to tube feed my fading puppy. I had already tried the liver juice & sugar water. In the 13 years that I have been breeding GSD's & many years of breeding beagles & other hounds w/ my dad, I had never tube fed a puppy before. I had all the equipment, & the knowledge. But just needed that extra push. This puppy means the world to me as her grandmother "Fresca" (our foundation bitch & frisbe enthusist) )will celebrate her 13th birthday on Dec. 19th. I know her days here on earth are numbered. I did this breeding so that we could keep a female pup to carry on in Fresca's name. With this being the only pup in the litter I am determined that she will be a surviver! After 7 cc's of goat milk tubed in, this little puppy came to life. She is now nursing on mom again. I will continue to supplement with the tube as needed. A special thanks to Tari for giving me the confidence to do what needed to be done!
