Little Specs is doing well. Here’s some pictures of her getting pottied (in case you didn’t know, very young puppies can’t do that on their own!) and tube fed. She doesn’t have good “suck” which means she can’t latch onto mom’s teat and get milk out very well. We help her along with the stomach tube which is safer than a baby bottle for puppies in her condition. She is currently spending most of her time in the incubator, but we put her in with her litter mates periodically for the comfort and socialization that provides.

Her legs are already improving! She pulls them both forward and is walking on her knees. This shows us her hip muscling and joints are in good shape and is certainly encouraging!
