I have 4 puppies who are 11 days old now and the mother is just refusing to be with them or nurse them. If I make her, she will let them nurse and she will clean them, but I have to FORCE her in to the cage and put all the puppies on her, then she will clean them and let them nurse.

She is not really rejecting them, its just like she suddenly forgot she is supposed to be with them and feeding them.

Why would she do this? How can make sure my puppies survive?
