That's a big risk and you're lucky momma didn't kill or eat the pups...

No other dogs are near my momma dog and her pups. They can scratch and whine all they want, but they're staying in a separate space!!

I'm also curious to know how she has milk, unless she herself is pregnant, or recently had a litter?? I would not encourage the nursing. In fact, I would have her vet checked, as it may be a sign something is wrong, such as a hormone imbalance or even cancer.

A few yrs back I had the same circumstance's, mother and daughter raised together. Mom had the litter and daughter helped nurse the pup's. I am assuming it is a hormonal inbalance, on the lines of a false pregnancy , they go through all the signs and changes as if they were pregnant.

We were lucky and had no mishaps and have not had it happen again. Please do be careful cause what the others say can happen. Good Luck.
