if you know someone with goats try to get some goat's milk for them. We did that with some walker pups that wouldn't grow. After a week of goat's milk them suckers shot up and filled out.

You can also check with the grocery store or drug store . I'm paying $2.44 a can at the mom & pops store here . But it's $3.44 at the big food chain store . |

Look in your Grocery stores baby food sections.Most have it located in that section. |

Do they make canine growth hormone?  ;D Maybe you could give them bovine growth hormone, instead? A friend of mine bred 2 beagle/walker crosses and he was telling me a couple weeks ago they all looked like their growth was stunted too. Both parents are smaller dogs, so I asked him what did he expect?  |

I haven't thought about growth hormone, But I am kinda getting use to the possibilities of a pack of midget hounds LOL that would be a hoot to see They are all ball mouthed an nose to the ground But with the blue tick black&tan cross them little dudes are going to be COLD nosed For sure

LOL, that's outrageous! I've never seen a whole litter that way, but I have seen double runts.... I'd bet they'll outgrow it. I'm with the rest, I wanna see the Mighty Mini's!
