There are several stages to the pups' recovery, depending on how emaciated they are when they come in. Rescue workers must tube feed pups that are especially tiny and weak. Many weigh only 20-25 pounds, about half of what they should weigh at their age. After one to two weeks if the pup is doing well, it'll graduate to eating fish.
