I've been out of the "breeding biz" for several years, and so I need some help if anyone would like to give me their input. I have 3 questions.
1) I just sold one of my female's first litter. The pups had round worms. Of course, she was cleaning up after them and I saw the round worms in the poop after I wormed the pups. Am I supposed to worm the mamma dog too, since she ate their poop - or is she ok?
2) My other female (tiny girl) is pregnant and due around the 26th. I can feel pups moving around in her belly. How many of you recommend that I have her x-rayed or an ultrasound to see how many pups she is carrying? Is it a waste of money unless there is a problem in delivery?
3) When do you all start feeding your pregnant female some puppy food? Right after conception - or a couple weeks before delivery?
Any and ALL help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
