As for the not eating you need to let the smaller and the ones who do not nurse go first,Our Molly had 5 puppies by c section, and my mother and i stayed up all night so we could get the smaller ones to nurse first.As for the vet, you need to get there tails docted and due claws cut out.Everything is a learning tool.If you need to talk to me please e mail me at 2hotrods@comcast.net or call 815-625-1252.Hope this helps.As i said before we are here to help one another not judge, hope this helps cathy

I hope you don't feel I was judging her.. because I WASN'T. In fact, I was trying to reassure her that regardless of what kind of mom she thinks she has been, it is the babies who need to come first right now. From her decription the "hole" in thier stomach sounds more serious than something that is fixable with styptic pencil.
