Update on Dehydration in puppies?

I wanted to let all who answered my question that one of the puppies died a few hours after I posted the question. I didn't think he would make it. He was the runt and the dehydration was so bad that his body just shut down. We had named them Buster and Brown. My step son kept calling one of them Baxter and so when Buster ped away we decided to call the other one Baxter. Didn't seem right for him to be Brown without his little brother Buster. Baxter is doing wonderfully. he is eating a little more, drinking more than he eats...lol, and barks and runs and sleeps. He is still dehydrated but is coming out of it. Talked to our vet Baxter goes monday for his first shots. Thank you all for your caring thoughts and ideas I tried most of them. Alot of them did wonders. Again I thank you all so very much.
