Hi, I'm new to the Yorkie Forum. My Yorkie had 3 beautiful puppies 5 weeks ago. She was a great mom and nursed her puppies constantly. However, I had noticed that in the last week, she began to stop nursing them and would nurse them maybe once or twice a day. Now, she has stopped alltogether and when I try to force her a little bit she does not want to. I'm concerned about the puppies, since I have been trying to wean them by feeding them once a day with a mixture of goats milk, baby rice cereal and a/d puppy food, but they really don't like it and don't eat much. Is this normal? I have started bottle feeding them but have to basically force them to take it. Any suggestions?????? I'm a little frustrated and worried since this is my first time having puppies. If you can shed some light on the situation, please write. thanks!!
