Also when i lock her in the kennel when i'm gone or at bedtime she poops in there and it is runny still and smells awful!!!! she was crate trained before is this a sign of not wanting to be a mommy? how can i stop the runny poop with her nursing? |
Bailey is doing the same thing only she will come if they cry and feed them. She will sit outside the whelping box and watch them but is tired of them pawing all over her already. She is feeding them well because they are gaining weight like crazy. I am having problems with her still not wanting to eat much. She will only eat the stuff I cook her and wont touch dog food yet. I hope she doesnt get too spoiled but I will feed her whatever she will eat just to get her to have food for the babies.
