Thanks for the info. Last night the pup was on one of Lily's teats and was sucking and crying! I think that it wasn't getting as much milk at that time. I didn't intervene at all. Lily just layed there! At least she was laying still though. Eventually the pup changed teats and was content! Isn't it supply and demand, just like humans? Also, if the pup only sucks out of a few of the teats will the others dry up?
