I am not a breeder but I believe you need to 'stimulate' them after every feeding. Using a warm wet towel.

It's the weirdest thing. The vet said she had never seen a dog do that. She would lick their tails so much that they bled, and there is no hair on the bottom. It just looks like a little nub with hair on top.

Because the area she is licking is close to the tails, we cannot let her stimulate them, b/c it causes more damage.

So, she cannot be with them unsupervised, or she will obsessively lick their tails. We bring her into their box every two hours, and watch as she nurses them. Then we do the stimualation, but I noticed that they don't poop very often.

I am concerned that they might get constipated, but I don't know how often they are supposed to go.
