Yes, the box I keep Gezell and puppies in is an under the bed storgae bin. The plastic ones. It is big enough for her and pups. Since birth I basicly selpt on the floor in the room with them. Checking on them constantly. Day 3 I gave her more room to breath and take care of her babies while always chebcking on them. My biggest fear was smothering one. I was pulling pups from under her since day 1. I wasnt sure if i was just paranoid or she was laying on them. They crawl so far under her for warmth it makes me nervous. At day 4 she was leaving me alone in the room with them while she got her much needed breaks. When I found the puppy under her it was devastating. She kept trying to lick him to wake him up. The cpr I tried was too late. After I took him away she kept looking for him all over the room. The rest of the night she didnt want to be bothered by her puppies. I had to feed them 2xs during the night. Still today she doesnt eat very much. She is constantly leaving them alone to go lay down somewhere else. At least now she comes back to feed them and clean them. She just sits there and watches them cry. I brought her and puppies downstairs to a corner well hidden in the living room. She seems more relaxed and I get to sleep on the couch instead of the floor. I am not going to be able to sleep good until the puppies are walking around and big enough to get out from under her. I never want to go through losing a puppy like that again. Heart breaking and depressing. I am going to the vet today. oh and yes, i have givin her nutri cal but it is not working...she does like the puppy milk, just born so i try and put that on some food. it works for a few pieces and thats it...
