My husky puppies are dying, is it fading puppy syndrome? Will others survive?

Question

I adopted a Siberian Husky female. About a month goes by and you can tell she is obviously pregnant. She has 5 healthy boys. A month goes by, one puppy dies. White tongue white belly. Perfectly healthy before. Next day another dies. One week later another is about to die. My vet said Fading puppy syndrome. Is this true? Can I assume the other two will die as well? I have been bottle feeding them as well and they have puppy food already since she isn't feeding them properly. Help :(. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 43 lbs

I'm so sorry you lost two puppies! Yes, it is entirely possible that these puppies died from fading puppy syndrome, but it doesn't mean the the other two puppies will die as well. I will put a link below to a website that gives more information about fading puppy syndrome. Keep bottle feeding them for now, and start to slowly switch them over to puppy food completely. They should be fully weaned in around two weeks. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/puppy-fading-puppy-syndrome-in-dogs
