Ann - I can't answer your question, but I had the same thing happen to me - I had an Irish Setter who nursed a kitten - the funny thing is the kitten was fully weaned and Mandy would lay down and lick the kitten and push it towards her belly until the little ball of fluff figured it out and started sucking. It didn't take long for Mandy to produce milk..... Go Figure.....
My big question is how did Mandy KNOW that this member of a completely different species was a baby that needed milk? At that time Many had never had pups - later she did have one litter and was the best mom ever!! |
