Until mom finishes delivering, keep the pups warm. I have gently swaddled new born pups in a nice soft blanket and then put them under my shirt next to my skin to help retain body heat until Mom was finished delivering. If you try this, BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the mouth/nose area are free from all obstructions so that they can breathe. If mom gets distressed because you move the pups, then let them snuggle next to your hand for extra body heat. |
