Hi:
its me again! all of your responses have been great. I wish there was a book out there that listed all the questions and answers that I have found there. I have read a number of things online regarding new yorkie
[COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]puppies[/COLOR][/COLOR] but can't fine the what may seem like non-important questions but for a first timer are.
So here we go: my list of questions:
Miracle gave birth to two puppies one is smaller than the other, actually the boy is smaller than the girl.
it seems as though she only nurses them one at a time. the smaller one SEEMS like he is having a harder time latching on. I was told to look at his tummy, if its flat he is not getting enough. his is round. Is this true?
When do they stop whining? We set up the
[COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]whelping [COLOR=green ! important]box[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] (cage/box) in our bedroom because it is quiet, warm and where she sleeps. I have put her food and water there and close the door when I leave for work during the day. However, they whine quite a bit a night. So just wondering when I will sleep again?
She is still
[COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]cleaning[/COLOR][/COLOR] the puppies? is this normal? I think it is but not sure?
She does leave the room for a little while to run around the house. She looks for me to come up there the minute she hears me come home and wants me to stay there with her for a while. is this normal?
She does like to show her puppies off. She also allows me to touch her babies.
She is not drinking a lot of water but she is drinking water, she was panting on and off last night, is this ok?
She moves around a lot in the box, is this normal?
Any advise about any little thing I should look out for or that she should be doing would be most helpful.
