Thank you for the tips goose, at this point it’s all reliant on these 4 pups making the cut. I had a scare yesterday morning, my only male went (I think) hypoglycemic. I screwed up and missed a feeding the night before last and so they went 7 hours without nursing. It was enough to send my male over the edge. He became almost lifeless, wouldn’t nurse at all, started getting cold, etc.. I was trying to research as fast as I could and ended up getting some Karo syrup to try and boost his sugar levels back up, that didn’t make much of a difference. I gave him a sugar water mix recipe, didn’t help either. Then he ended up throwing up the milk I was able to get dribbled down his mouth. I finally found some stuff online about giving him subcutaneous fluids. I ended up giving him a lot of 5% dex solution, 2-3ml’s every 30 minutes for a few hours. And he got a hair of strength back and was able to drink a couple ml’s of milk. I kept that up and kept giving him 1-2ml’s of milk every 30 minutes with the injections. As of 1am he is moving around again. At this point I haven’t given him fluids since 1:30am and he’s almost recovered. Man talk about some stress, I hope to never hand raise pups again lol.

And goose, my wife was joking that I’d go easy on them after hand raising them. I said if anything they’re gonna get a harsher look for being such a pain in my butt, they’ll either fill shoes or fill holes.
