My mommy girl, Mizzie, has 5 babies, 5 healthy, beautiful baby mini yorkies.
They are almost 5 weeks old, Mommy nurses them occasionally, but spends a lot of time sitting on high just watching them.
Her tummy still has milk, it is tore up from baby teeth and claws and just general parental abuse. They are eating food very, very well.
Is there a way to give her relief for her sore tummy? Today, I ran an ice cube up and down over it, but she only liked that for about 1/2 an ice cube melt!
Thank ya'll, very much in advance for any advice you may have!

Poor Mizzie, 5 babies is a lot. The best thing you can do for her is to make sure all the babies toenails are kept short so they can not scratch her belly, that can be very painful to mommies, and I start cliping toe nails at two weeks old, then every week to make sure they do not hurt the mommie while nursing. That should solve the problem.
