mackay 3,364 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Anyone near you with a litter roughly the same age , try them on, the bitch, damned easier than hand rearing them. Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I had to rear a litter of 4 russell's years ago when the bitch got eclampsia a day after having them...i got the bottle's and teat's from the vet's and fed them on lactol every 4hrs until a fortnight old..it has the mixing ratio instruction's on the tin..when they get past the 2wk stage the feed's can be spaced out a bit longer..also don't forget to wipe there back end's with a damp cloth or tissue after feeding to stimulate them to empty them self's..good luck with them.
