Are you not sure the Mom is nursing or is she just moving them around to clean them and such? It is not good that the pup has lost an ounce instead of doubling its weight in one week. If your two small ones will suckle from Mom, please give them personal time to do so. Maybe if Autumn is comfortable on your bed you could let her lay up there and nurse just the two small ones while you baby her quite a bit telling her what a good girl she is. They are quite rough with their babies and that is normal. Does she want to stimulate them to go to the bathroom? Please post an update....and I wish you a healthy litter...all of them. |
