I know I'm a few days later in reading this post but in addition to all the great info you've been given, I would check the puppies toe nails. I have had some girls that are very sensitive and if any pups have the least but of sharp to their nails they will do exactly what your dam is doing. Let them nurse for a couple of mins. the move away. After I clip the nails they are usually allowed to nurse longer. Hope the mom & her babies are doing well. |
