There are currently two puppies left. Let me start with the beginning. My mom went back to our hometown and while she was there, my grandpa's dog gave birth to a litter of 7. This is her 3rd Litter. All the previous litters died because the dam couldn't provide milk. In this litter, one of them died the day it was born. My mother decided to bring 4 back and leave 2 for the dam. They were born on 13th of September 2009. 2 of them died 4 days ago. I found this website and i suspect they died because of dehydration. Now the last 2 are still alive but one of them is not doing so well. There's the brown one and the white one. The brown one is doing fine and the white one was doing fine too until today. When he drank, the milk started to come out of his nose. I'm very worried. Now his hair is becoming dry like what the information on LB said. Dehydration. What should i do? Any information given will be a great help. Thank you all. It's 1 AM here in Malaysia and it's not possible for me to reach a vet right now.
Try to clear the milk from the pup's nose. You can do this with an eye-dropper by carefully sucking it out of the nostril. Other than that you will have to keep it warm. Wrap it in a blanket with the other pup. This may be your problem. If the pups do not stay warm their organs will stop working and feeding will kill them. Get the pups to your vet as soon as possible. It is their only chance at this point. Next time keep them with the mother. That is the best chance for their survival. Read up on how to help the mother produce enough milk for the pups. Things like feeding triple the normal amount of food and water.
In the end, the best thing is to spay this female!

Do you have a heating pad that you can adjust very low (to be absolutely positive not to burn or overheat them) and also room around it for the puppy to get off and on at will?
They have been taken away from me. I don't think any help is needed anymore. We went to see the vet and he told my mother to bring the puppies back to the dam. I won't be seeing them for a long time, anyway thanks for all the help. I appreciate it. I hope all goes well for the puppies. It has been a stressful morning. No matter how much I begged her she still insisted to bring the puppies back.

I think them going back to the dam is the best thing for them.
You had their best interest at heart but in reality, if you are not 100% of what you are doing, you should really think about it before you do it.
I think the dam should be spayed once this litter is weaned so this can not happen again. Also, take this time to educate yourself in case another dog needs help in raising the puppies. Ed has some great videos on whelping and bottle feeding puppies, watch them now so you will know what to do when the time comes.
I think you did the absolute best thing in getting them to the vet, the may not have made it if you hadn't. So now you know for next time that you need to have your information before hand so that you know what to do when a situation like this comes up. Use this as your learning experience, to grow yourself and your mind!
