HI! The mother of my last doggie developed this! The owner of the mom told me to come get im! I did and he was only 2 weeks old. I immediately went to the vet said the sme thing! He could not hve nursed and to put him on puppy chow!!!! I was shocked, but.......... I got puppy chow and put it in a blender till it was a fine pwder and added warm water so it became a gruel type mixture. Then I put it in a baby bottle and cut a big slice off the end. Then I bottle fed that little one! He lived to be 16 and for a big dog that is unheard of!!! Good luck! It can be done and the bond that forms with you is amazing!!!!! Elizabeth
