Hi,
I'm new here looking for emergency help! My female dwarf had pups 7
days ago and yesterday, I found one of her pups seperated from the
group and he is now missing his right hind leg. I know that Mothers
routinely eat their pups when something is wrong with them or
whatever, but he seems in general good health including the wound area
where his leg is missing. It was cleanly removed at the hip area and
is healing perfectly (no infection) Anyway, I removed him from the
cage because I couldn't bear for her to eat him and now I am hand
raising him with kitten milk and colostrum. Has anybody here done
this successfully with such a young pup? Does anyone have any
suggestions. I am keeping him warm with a light and so far he is
doing fine (32 hours)Please help me with what else I should do.
Please e-mail me so not to waste space here on the site. I would so
greatly appreciate this. Hugs, Siouxan lazysiouxan@hotmail.com

Congratulations on the birth! I know it seems hectic now, but I believe the
pups are in great hands. You are doing an amazing job.
