 Newborn Puppies Question
Hi, my female Yorkie just gave birth for the first time ever today to three beautiful babys. I have never seen a mother dog take care of her young so im not sure if her behavior is normal or not, but she keeps turning her back on one or two at a time and laying down, sometimes they get far away from her as she is in about a two foot around welping box i made for her, she does seem to eventually get back to the ones shes turned her back on but i worry that the puppy will get cold alone, should i be putting the puppy back between the moms legs or just leave her be? sometimes she lays on them too. Also its summer so its pretty hot in here but the night air seems to have a chill if i leave the window open will it harm the puppys or will being to hot harm them or the mother, sorry if this question sounds stupid but i really want them and my baby (the mom) to be ok. thanks to anyone who can answer. |
