Help!! Newborn puppies- wiierdd problem!!!?

Ok,

two 2 week old ORPHAN pups, im taking care of them good.

Brother and sister, i feed them 1 1/2 oz every 2-3 hours. I stimulate them to go potty, ect-

BUT- the girl is CONSTANTLY thinking that the boy's 'boy part' is her mom's nipple. It's been getting worse- ive been getting up almost every 10 seconds since ive been writing this to get her away.

He doesnt mind, but ive also noticed he doesnt pee as much as he should when i try to make him go.

I dont want to seperate them because he is very attached to her...what can i do???

(please say more than 'see a vet' i'd be very gratefull)

(their eyes are only 1/2 open)

    It's not unusual, but I have never had this problem with puppies myself so sorry, I cannot answer. Ask your breed mentor what you should do?

    At two weeks old they are not going to the bathroom on their own.

    Normally the mother licks them, and it stimulates them. Because they have no mother, you need to take a damp paper towel or rag and wipe them.

    Are you bottle feeding them? Obviously they are hungry if she is trying to find a nipple. At this age they need constant feeding. They are very young, and almost too young to be adopted by someone unexperienced.

    I would suggest getting a bottle and some pet formula, you need to feed them all the time, and you need to "potty" them by taking a wet rag to their bottom.

    Get pup formula from a vet and feed him with a dash pup bottle. purchase a high quality formula (you will could desire to spend a minimum of $70) he will choose feeding each 2 or 3 hours.

    It's normal, so just move her away when you see it. He's not peeing as much because she's stimulating him to go by trying to milk him

    Totally normal. Put a little band of vetwrap around his belly & cover his penis. She won't be able to get to it to suck.
