Even though the puppies are eating mostly solid food ie. softened dry puppy food she still sneaks in to feed them every 4-6 hrs. but not for long periods. She only feeds them for 10-15 minutes tops. All but two of her breasts have dried up.
None of the puppies have teeth yet. Is this normal??? |
I am glad to hear mom is doing better. The puppies teeth should start coming in. Some puppies take longer than others. I would really recommend you waiting a couple more weeks before you start vaccination. IMO, 6 weeks is much to young for vaccinations. I do not vaccinate mine until they are at least 10 weeks old but some people start at 8 or 9 weeks. You might want to call several vets and get more than one opinion on that. There are many vets that over vaccinate. You might want to offer your puppies some ground up dry puppy food also. Most puppies love it and you can leave it out for them without worrying about it turning sour. I hope things continue to go well for you.
