This is awesome! Glad to hear the milk is in!
Lola never snapped at the pups, but she would get up and walk away from them. The one thing we did, again, not sure whether this helped, but we were doing anything and everything we could to improve the situation…we laid out a blanket on the floor, let Lola cuddle with us a little bit so she would get some sense of 'normalcy' (she's a real cuddle bug), pet her and let her stretch out and relax. We had the puppies in a box with a heating pad and a towel, nice and warm and sleeping. When she was relaxed, we brought the puppies to her and we were VERY enthusiastic about everything she did good and let her know it. If she laid there and didn't get up, she got tons of 'good girl Lola', the same if she sniffed the pups…when she gave them a little lick, and finally when we put them to nurse and she wanted to get up, but stayed.
We were blessed not to have an extended period of this and every dog is different, so think of what works for you little girl and see if you can use that to steer her in the right direction. Lola likes to cuddle and loves attention and to please…so we used that.
All the best to you…keep us posted!
