thanks so much for your help, how often can i check her temp? |
If they are preemies, you're gonna have your work cut out for you. They maybe a bit too young and weak to nurse. So, I hope you have vet or someone that can teach you how to tube feed around the clock until they are strong enough to nurse, even at that your mom's milk could dry up by then, then you'll have to bottle feed until they're old enough to lap.
You're girl is a small to have bred her. Putting a smaller male with a larger female does not guarantee that you'll have smaller pups. That is a misnomer.
Try not to overdo on the temp taking, you don't want to cause her undue stress.
Best of Luck
