Answer #1

Most of the time in a large litter one puppy will pass, Mothers instinct is to push it away and let it die, You could try to feed it every four hours by buying Puppy replacement milk, most vet’s sell this. Also keeping it warm, they have a hard time maintaing there own body temp at this age. However don’t be upset if the little one just does not make it, there is nothing you or the mother did wrong, This is common and mother knows best.
