If the mom and pups are in bed with you.? .it could be that she is upset or too warm, and is getting agitated because of this.
My moms like me to be with them and handle their babies, but some are more nervous about their babies and when they have newborns need their own bed.
Digging after birth is an indication that the mom is upset or sick.
If her temp is down and you dont feel it is medical, you might want to look at where she is sleeping. A quiet, darker place will help her settle down. |
She was in her whelping bed on our bed, but last night I put them on the floor. We were worried about being too cool, but the temp was 70-74 most of the night. everyone seemed ok with it. Less fuss, less digging (although she's still doing it). I'm still watching her temp 101.1 and pups seem to be steadly gaining weight. Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't think she would want to be that far away from me. My bad
