The reason I say that is cuz the one nipple is much larger than the others and it looks as though there is a small pocket where milk would/should be....very small though. It seems most of the nipples just act as pacifiers at this point.
Momma is doing an amazing job at keeping this baby happy and warm. She howls for her little one when I take her away for feedings. LOL wakes up the whole house all hours of the night. Im so thankful they have bonded. Being a singleton, I'm still worried her mother might reject her at some point. Someone will have to teach this baby to be a dog.
I will ask the vet about probiotics...maybe that might help give this little immune system a boost?? |
Did you try giving her a pill of fenugreek for the milk production. I had some home and after my girls csections I gave her 1 pill for 3 days that did the trick.
