read it all just didn't want to have a big quote. :) Thank you for all the wonderful information!

would I just put some nutri Drench in the water for the first couple days? I am doing the nipple feeder in a 32 oz waterer so don't want to give them too much but would like to help them any way I can to start. they said they would be vaccinated against Merek's but that was all it said...

Thanks for the great info! we have LOTS of disposable puppy pads since i need to use them for my 13 yr old dog so always have a constant supply of them......

after reading and doing more research I have a few more questions. Do I need to get electrolites to put in their water after I get them home (I am getting them from a local farm store but believe they have them shipped in). Do they need any probiotics or medicated feed or anything else like...
