This thread needs to be in the breeders section. you'll get more responses there. It's great that mama is doing well with them. Newborns mustn't get chilled so they should have a heating pad (set on low) underneath them (not directly, have a towel over the pad) and they shouldn't have any drafts if you're using a/c. Tails and dewclaws are usually done at 3 to 4 days old and shots should begin around 8 weeks. You need a scale that will measure tenths of an ounce to make sure the babies are gaining weight daily. Keep mom and pups away from the busy area of the house and don't allow the pups to be handled by others. Call your vet and make an appointment to get the tails and dewclaws done. They will look over the pups then to see how they're doing. There is much more but this will get you started. Please post this thread in the breeders section. |
