Hi there. Poor pup! Bottle babies are very hard to raise-it's just like having a baby and I commend you on trying. These babies can have parasites, a "failure to thrive" (usually because of lack of antibodies from mom), etc. make sure your milk is mixed and stored properly. The pre made cans of esbilac are my favorite for bottle puppies and have easy feeding directions. Your puppy also needs to eat about every 3 hours at most. Make sure the puppy is passing gas and that you are also not overfeeding (which is also very serious). If Cow continues to do poorly, best to see a doctor. I hope this helps! Good luck to you.
