Help! I am having real problems trying to maintain my pups temperature. She weighs just 2grams. Is there anyone in Bristol UK who can help. I have already lost 7 pups since Saturday.

Stick her down your cleavage!! It's the best place to give her a constant temperature.

2 grams? Surely not?
My mums keeps baby chicks warm by putting them down her cleavage so this is good advice.

My friend has been a breeder for 30 years and she agrees with the other post put the pup down your top make sure it can still breath tho your body temperature will help keep the pup warm aslong as you are warm.
Keep me posted,
Thamks, she is down my top now and trying to suck my nipple! Just fed her she is only taking 2.5mls of whelpi every 2hrs and then has a suckle on her mum. She is about the size of a small hamster.
Here is a pic of her today.

Omg....she's so tiny, i hope this little one makes it, she's gorgeous :-) will you be keeping her?
I would love to keep her but I have 2 dogs already. I have a Border Collie who is 8yrs old. My Mum & Dad are having her, is she makes it.
Well the bra trick worked she just had a full feed! She seems quite comfy down there. Amother night without sleep tonight.

Your body temp isnt high enough.
Get a water bottle and wrap it in a towel and snuggle her into the towel.
If you dont have a water bottle use semi boiling water in a bottle.
