If the bed that the puppies are in is too warm, Mom will not want to be in there. I put the heating pad under just half of the bed, so mom and puppie can get away from the heat if they get too warm.
As long as she goes when the puppies cry, she is a good mom and doing her job.
Sitting ujp to nurse might also be an indication that the bed is too warm for her.
If the puppies are gaining and mom is eating, everything is good. |
