If Potchi is a new mom she may be a bit confused or overwhelmed by her new puppies. Keeping an eye on her and helping the puppies to nurse may help. If you need to supplement their food, a puppy milk replacer such as KMR or Esbilac can be used along with a syringe. There should be feeding instructions on the side of the can for your puppies' age and size so that you can give the correct amount.
