How to take care of new born puppies when the mother doesnt.?
Answers:
You can bottle feed them. Check with your vet,he could tell you how often and what to feed. It's a lot of work,but it can be done.Good luck!
The vet gave us a product that was a substitute for the mother dog's milk to make up and feed the pups but that was many years ago. I don't know if they still do that. Ask your vet or maybe a pet store.
Get your vet to suggest a milk replacer and keep them WARM! You can get the tiny bottles at WalMart or your vet, and your humane society people or spca will help with instructions. It's major to keep them warm tho - and if you can't get to a vet, I know one 'foster parent' for the humane society feeds kittens and puppies goat milk - from the baby food section at the grocery store - but watered down about 50/50 so it isn't too rich.

Check with your vet. There are puppy formulas at most of the well known pets stores. Give the mother a little more time. She may come around. If she if very young, she may not be sure what to do. You can also make her lay down so they can nurse. Hold a treat in your hand in front of her and see if this will distract her long enough for the pups to feed. Hold her down at first, then try the treat thing.
I would say that you should probably call your vet and ask them.
Feed them baby formula often and keep them warm.
You can feed them with an eyedropper with warm milk about every two hours. then as time go's on move the feeding time just like you do a baby. then when it is time to ween them start them on baby ceral for a short time.
