Re: Advice for chihuahua hand rearing

From my experience as a breeder, puppies that fail to suck without help from I have always spent alot of time trying to get it. I usually find the trick is to get some milk on the bitches teet, and rub the puppies nose gently round the teet so they get the idea, I then keep doing it until the pup gets hold of the nipple and rub its back while it has hold of the nipple and it should stimulate the pup to suck.

I am so sorry for your loss Its awful when things like this happen. Its nice to know that your other chi is taking care of the small one. If he has alot of enegy it is a good sign, Its when they start to fade I worry

Your dog is beautiful and so are the pups! I have always wanted a Chi
