2 of my 6 day old english bulldog pups dont eat as much and dont hold their heads up like they used to?

They normally are the most active constantly moving around when picked up, now they just kinda lay there.

1. Off to the vet! Have they had their newborn checkups? You may need to supplement them with artificial milk. You also may need to put their little mouths on the nipple, so they can eat. Good Luck!
2. this is a bad sign!you need a vet:these pups are getting weak and dehydrated! most likely they need to be given an I.V. and to be fed with a stomach tube. Call the vet ASAP or these 2 pups will die(you can still save them)
3. Yes, you should get to the vet asap. If they are weak at this young age, they are likely not getting enough food, but there are lots of other possibilities too.
4. I hope your are weighing daily to see the pups progress, or otherwise. It's really important to know if your pups are developing normally and regular weight gain is a good sign. How many days has it been since they ate regularly. I would suggest taking them in for an exam by the vet. Just doesn't sound good that they're less active than they used to be.
5. I wish I had a a bulldog.
