| 7 week old babies My question is should 7 week old pups still be feeding off of mom even though they are eating and drinking very well. Will mom automatically wean them or do I need to keep them separated to wean them. I will be keeping the babies so they will always be here. Any help is appreciated. |

| I'm not sure never having breed myself. I would think Mommy would push them away at some point. If they are eating and drinking on their own I wouldn't worry about them getting nurishment. Congratulations on the litter. |

| I know about 7 weeks old puppies My princess started to push them away. I had to take her to the vert because she had starting throwing up. The vet told me that she was eating the poop which she did and it was getting her sick and they should be weaned. They are eating puppy food very soft and drinking water. She is happy and the puppies are happy. I had begun to give them soft food at 4 weeks in little amounts so they went straight away to the food. Good luck.
