Submitted by IndyBulldog™ on April 20, 2010 - 11:24pmI may have the chance to foster a 4 day old runt. She is 8 oz I believe. May is the word here. If so I need some quick tips. Such as what has worked best for you, and what to avoid.
Thanks

Seems better
The problem is she needs so much more attention. She seems to be doing better, I searched the files, and he gave her some Kayro, and she seemed to rally some and eat better. It looks like the crisis has passed I hope, It's just the guy and his wife, and she works so I was gonna try to foster the pup, hopefully now it won't be needed. Thanks though as I'll still have plenty of questions even though Buddy [my pup] is 7 months old. It's so good to have information, the kayro may have saved her.

why would she be taken away from teh parents
Holly was 6oz when she was born and is now 4 and great, standard size girl who is a Champion. I always watch the runt, as many times they turn out to be the best.
she will need to be kept warm, feed every 3 hours until she doubles her wt ten you can feed every 3 during the day and go to 5 at night. She if at all possible should be left with the litter mates, she needs the socialization.
A single puppy is a nightmare to raise, they dont learn the skills and socialization with other dogs.
