My yorkie just had a pup and I've been having to watch them 24/7. I have to help the pup nurse on mom so naps is about all I have time for. The little pup is doing good but I don't trust mom with him by herself, it's her first litter and she is a little to anxious over the puppy. I was out of the room for maybe 15 min. and found her and the pup outside the whelping box and under my bed. She wouldn't come out so I had to crawl under and get her. She could have really hurt him since he just had his little leg amputated a few days ago. I'm still learning what to do myself, I dont think my yorkie likes that I'm intervening too much but that pup is my first concern until he gets a few weeks older. If you go out for more than a few hours make sure you have someone watching those pups and mom. |
