Your mom was shaking, panting, nipples hard, and fussy pups. If after vet says all is well, do a process of elimination and try turning down the heat, keep massaging and manually expressing a little milk 3 times a day and use warm compresses, weigh babies daily. Keep up the good work but do not let your guard down for even a minute cause moms and pups fail rapidly and without warning sometimes. |
Thank you and will do. No heat pad last night, room warm and they were between Husband and I (added warmth). Pups on average have gained about 2 oz since birth. Everyone is latching on, luckly for her no more than 2 feed at a time. Fat boy (the largest, noisiest) boots all the others off their teets just because, so I keep an eye on him. Like I said mom not shivering anymore (only this morning and it was cooler, DH warmed her up) and pups quieter this afternoon and temp lower. I'll keep up the compresses and massage. Keep you posted and thanks again for all the help Yorkielady
