Inbreeding is not always a problem; it depends on the health of the parents,
from what I have learned.
There is a formula I found at the pet store for wild baby animals. It is a
powder that is meant for various animals. I got the one meant for hamsters.
It can be mixed with water. You use a dropper. DO NOT hold the baby with
its head back, or you will choke it. Feed it only a couple of drops each
time, a few times a day. When you are done feeding it, gently rub its lower
belly to allow digestion. It will struggle at first, but then should start
to feed peacefully. watch out for diarrhea.

Subject: You guys PLEASE help me! Emergency!
First of all I'd like to say thanks to all that have helped me along so far,
and that I hope you guys, and gals can help me out again. Okay, there was
some accidental in-breeding. :( One of the pups of seven, who are 1 week, 4
days old today had a broken/deformed leg. <tear> She can't walk on it and
she sort of limps around on it. The leg works, but not the paw, It's sort of
twisted funny. Sage, which I have named her, is only 3/4 the size, and a
little less, of the other pups. I think her disability isn't allowing her to
get as much to eat, as is with many pups.... :( Anyways, she is extremely
weak today...very very sickish. Could someone please help me? I need to know
an antidote or something to help her with her health, and a formula to help
feed her. What do you guys use? I've never had to do this before and I'm new
at it...I know it was a bad mistake to in-breed and I think that was a part
of this problem. But I don't want to let this pup die, I want to do all I
can... Thank-you again..
-Rachel
