Momma dog still seems really exhausted from yesterdays events. I think this will be a whole weekend of laziness for me around the house just laying with her and the babies.
She does try to leave the pups kinda like she is saying, "ok need a break" so every couple of hours ive been getting her out and way for 10-15 mins for a bit of "her" time.
Will try to post photos!! |
Barbi your pups are cute as they all are. Please know the signs of eclampsia, if you don't already, also your tiny Mom with three pups will need lots of health/food support. go to the whelping pudding recipe that is posted on this thread.
Like others here, this dog was way too young and very much too small to be bred. Please spay her as soon as possible.
I'm very happy Mom and pups are doing well right now, but the road is long, and you need to be alert along that long road.
Please let us know how all are doing we truly only hope the best for these pups and Mom.
