She may be getting too hot. I would take out the heating pad and place it in a basket under a blanket. That way while she is having the puppies, you can keep them safe inside the basket so that she doesn't lay on it or step on it during the labor process. Then when everything is said and done, you can put them in with the mother and only have the heat pad on one side of the box under a blanket. That way she can get off of it if she is too hot. |
