sorry to hear your in distresed petal
try and get some milk from the mother and try your best to feed puppy with a droper if you want puppy to survive try get liquids into it if you dont do it soon it will be to late i know i have been there,
is the puppy trying to suckle when it put on to mum?
you must try and get her to lie with it
if this does not help am afraid you will have to take it to your vets dont let it suffer petal am sure they could help and understand.

| thanks for the advice, the puppy wants to eat it's just the mother doesn't want anything to do with him. she doesn't seem to be producing any milk and she's kinda dehydrated. I've been sitting with her and giving her water but she'll only drink if i give it to her and she'll have nothing to do with the bowl. I've even tried washing it and giving her fresh water. she just sniffs it and turns away. |

| I would strongly suggest that you seek urgent veterinary advise. Your puppy will become dehydrated if it does not have access to milk. |

You need to get both mum and pup to the vet ASAP.
You may have to hand rear and to do this you need to get some special milk replacment, if you are still reading this and the pup is still alive you can contact me via PM and I can get an experienced breeder to guide you through the process. ____________ Natalie and Co xxx

| You'd better get them both to the vet! If you can get any milk from the Mum at all you could try feeding the puppy from a pippet or a small bottle but it won't survive long if it doesn't get any milk. The puppy is very young and it's best not to take risks. |

Can only say the same as has alread been said - get Mum and Pup to the Vets asap. If you really do not have the money then try some of the Charities (even if this means signing them over to them - you have to do what is best for the dog and pup!)
I've hand reared pups and kittens and it is a lot of hard work and a couple of months of sleepness nights! Well worth it but think carefully before you make a decision - you have to eith commit 100% to both these animals or give then both up in the hope that someone else can give the care that they need and pray they get it asap
PM me if you want to talk about them and I'll give you my phone no.
Best of luck and sending hugs X |

| How is the little puppy? With these little tiny breeds there really is no time to waste, they can go downhill very very fast and must be taken to a vet as soon as possible. Ideally you should have been better prepared for such as this. Did you deliberately breed your bitch or was it an accidental breeding. If it was deliberate then you really should have had everything organised before the puppy was born. |
