My femaloe yorkie is mothering kittens... Hi everyone!
A while back I posted about my yorkie thinking that she was pregnant. Anyway, my hunch was right and she had a false pregnancy, which is good...she's young.
Well, a few days ago we found five kittens in a field near our house. We watched them and my boys played with them, etc. Everytime we went to see them they always seemed hungry and I finally started really paying attention and I haven't seen a mom around in days so we brought them in and gave them some milk...they were starved.
Well, my female yorkie who produced milk from her false pregnancy is this very moment nursing the kittens. Is that ok?
Since she first saw the kittens she has been extremely antsy and keeping a close eye on them, etc and all of a sudden she just snuggled up to them, cleaned their bums and completely calmed them down and, like I said, is now nursing them.
I'm not sure if I should be allowing her to do so or not?
I am anxiously waiting to hear anyone's responses to this!
TIA
