Make sure she is cleaning their rears so they can pee and poop. If they are crying, make sure they are warm and hand feed them, never feed a cold pup, you will kill it...good luck |
All this advice is good. It happens every time one of my moms has a c-section. They are sore and not real into nursing..I have to cut the nails immediately. It will take no more than 24hours..
