If you bring it home too early there is a good possibility that the pup won't make it either. Just because a pup has tasted food, doesn't mean that it is eating well on it's own. |
Could not agree with this more. How many puppies are there all together and who is taking the other puppies? This is very sad. If you mom is good friends with the owner maybe you can step in to care for the mom and puppies while she is off helping with her nephew
Please keep us posted.
