All of my females that have had pups would get back to normal within 4 months of having pups. I have seen other females with huge ugly teats. I have wondered if it was because the owners let the momma get mastitis and did not take care of it or if they left the pups with the momma too long. Sadly, some people leave it up to the momma to feed the pups entirely until they are 6 weeks old and don't start the weaning process early enough and I think that can take a tole on the momma. The mommas should not be forced to stay in a pen with the pups when the pups start getting older. |
