| Worried mom.... The human mom that is.....this is my first litter of pups. I am a horse breeder as well, but this is really different. With all of Missy's hair, I can't tell if the pups are nursing. If I try to look to take a peek, she moves around and gets worried, so I don't want to disturb her, just want to make sure that the pups are eating. She seems to be a bit worried and protective too. If I touch one of the pups she cleans it like CRAZY!!!!! She's a sweet sweet dog.......not being aggressive at all, maybe just a worried mom too?? |

| You can shave around the titts on the momma so you can see, you can also weigh the pups daily and see if they are gaining weight. most of the times you can just tell by the puppys tummy or if they are whinning meaning they are hungry. |

| Thank you...I did shave around her tummy a few days ago.....got the weight thing going too :-) I think I'm just worried because I don't know the behaviour of the dogs etc..... I'm trying to think back when I bred my first horse and had my first foal....was I this worried???? Yes, I think I was. Mother nature usually does a pretty good job at these things. I think losing the first two pups also got me more anxious about the ones that made it!!! |
