I received 2, 5 week old, Pit Bull puppies yesterday (brother and sister). The living conditions were unbelievably sad. The mom was kept from her babies. The puppies are very skinny and tiny for their breed. I took them to the vet. Parvo test is negative and I'm awaiting further test results. Any information on how to raise them would be greatly appreciated. I know how to make gruel and bottle feed. I have experience with the breed as I used to have a Pit Bull terrier that passed away. I didn't get him till he was older though so the baby/puppy phase is new to me!

It is good the siblings are together. After they eat would be a good time to take them outside and see if they can relieve themselves. They are still babies, so go slowly.
They have worms and are very dehydrated. I take them outside as much as I can depending on the weather. We cuddle them non stop and also have a heating pad in the crate we have next to our bed for them.
Good for you for taking on these puppies. It is a lot of work. Here is a link that gives the basics of puppies this young. You made the most important move in getting them to your Vet for medication and an exam. Dont forget to schedule vaccinations before too long. www.petcoach.co/
