I am so glad she made it through the night. At this age all she will do is eat and sleep. As long as she is nursing strongly she should not need anything else. To tell if she is nursing strong you should feel a little resistance when you pull her a nipple. Weak puppies of puppies with cleft puppies will go through the motions of nursing but are not strong enough to get milk out.
How is momma doing? You need to keep a close eye on her breast that they do not get hard and red. If this happens she might need antibiotics. Also, be sure to monitors the mommas temperature for the next few days. Make sure momma gets plenty of food.
I pray your little girl continues to do well. |
