Well I didn't get much sleep last night. I don't know what is going on with the momma dog. I kept having to move the pups closer to her because she was taking the blanket and laying on it and leaving the pups in the back of the cage with nothing to lay on. She also kept laying on them. I pretty much had to force her to nurse them and lay anywhere near them. She was not acting like this at ALL before they had their tails docked. She also keeps digging around at everything, even when she is not with the pups. She peed on my bed, which baffles me because she never does that. I don't know what is going on but I am going to call the vet.
