Hi, My Yorkie Gracie had a litter of 3 puppies ten days ago. One of them is very tiny. She has no problem latching on for milk and I am constantly making sure she is in there getting some because the other two try and push her out of the way. She is a fighter though and gets in there.

The problem is Gracie keeps taking her away from the other two. She moves her to the other side of the cage and then sits in the middle and just ignores the puppies cries. I am afraid maybe there is something wrong with the pup and she doesn't want to care for it. I put her back with the others. Sometimes I take the other two out so she can get milk without being bullied. This happens a couple of times a day.

Has anyone ever experienced this? Am I doing enough to make sure this puppy will be fine? Any advice would be very appreciated.
