It sounds like you are doing a good job taking care of momma and babies. Hopefully the babies will start gaining. Just make sure momma eats about 4 or 5 times a day. I often have to hand feed my new mommas the first few weeks. |
Thanks! All nipples are soft and she had been hand fed initially, and still most of the time, but early this evening she did walk to the dish with rice and ate on her own. She still won' touch the other dish with the mixed dry and wet dog food. Still taking Nutrical, and the other home recipes well.
