I have 4 yorkie puppies that are two days old today. They were an accident my new little girl yorkie went in to heat and I didn't know that my boy yorkie had gotten her.

Mama did fantastic and is taking care of them like a pro. They are all healthy babies with 2 girls weighing 7 oz each and the boys 8oz each.

My questions are
1. When do I get their tails clipped?
2. When do they get their shots?
3. What should I being doing to take care of them? Do I need to bathe or anything?
4. How often should mama be eating? I am feeding her puppy food for the extra nutrition.

Basically I am lost and afraid I am going to kill one of them, so I have been just leaving mom to it in. I made her a spot (a large 4X4 cage) that she seems quite content to keep them in. I just change the bedding everyday and keep the sides covered, mainly cause she seems happier with the place cave like and cause I wanted to keep any drafts off them. I have also kept the room a steady 75 degrees.
