have you talked
to your vet? - they might suggest tube feeding?
They take the nipple but she
They take the nipple but she is starting to not produce enough milk. They don't need a feeding tube. I just need them to take a bottle.
Sponge feed
You can feed them using a make-up sponge.

Jacinda,
You saved me! My puppies actually are taking to the sponge. I think that the sponge acts and feels like the Mama's nipple. I am so apprecative... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
That is excellent! Good advice Jacinda!
Glad the pups are doing well. Best of luck to you!
