It seems that pups never nurse on the bottom two nipples. But, what I was told they are somehow connected to the two above them and the milk is depeleted through them. In the first few days, I milk mom a bit and massage her nipples so that they remain soft and pliable. Whenever she has left the whelping area and wants to go back. I make sure that I wipe down her feet, privates and nipples with a baby wipe before she goes back in with her babies. |
Wow, good to know, thank you mary, I never had a girl discharge that long, Taffy spotted for about 5 weeks, and I don't know about the ones of the whelps I have assisted, unless is something terribly wrong I dont find out.. my chanel is so good keeping her private area clean that you would never know she has some spotting, only in the blankets I have in the box I see a little spot here and there..
hugs,
