Very good cyber sibes- I would have done the same.. I would try to help the mother, but I think she has done all she can at this point. Even the puppy she has, this is a serious undertaking with the puppy already so far behind the 8 ball here.. ! I have bottlefed a puppy- and that one was just fine, except the runt and nothing majorly wrong with the puppy either. This is quite a undertaking, and she is to be commended as I stated earlier!
