I live on a farm and my Dog had a litter of puppies. About 4 weeks after she had them, she died. We found her in the garden. Well, we have been feeding the puppies puppy milk that we mix. One of the puppies was behind the barn and was lying there not moving. I picked her up and he was still breathing. I have fed him ana dhe was walking around but he seems so off balance and wobbly! He can hardly walk without sitting. Help!:( :( :( :(

I am sorry April but we cannot possibly diagnose your dog online. There are too many variables and we cannot examine him in cyberspace. Did you take the mother in for a check up during or after her pregnancy? Did the vet give you any indication as to what went wrong? Or does he even know about it? April, most vets have emergency numbers, even in rural areas. Have you even tried to call him? Anayden is right. You need a vet. Not a web site. There is a very good chance that he is dying. How could you possibly leave puppies outside to wander around on their own without constant supervision? There are any number of things he could have gotten into. Possibly he ate the same thing that might have killed his mother. You never, ever should have allowed your dog to get pregnant if you cannot be watchful of your pets. If any of those puppies survive, get them spayed and neutered so you don't set up the probability that siblings will mate. If you can't afford to do that, surrender them to your local Humane Society or ASPCA.
