I hope you stick around and share your experience in dealing with nine pups. It will not be easy. Do you know the weighs of the puppies? Are all the puppies latching on and nursing? Are you supplementing them? Often in a very large litter some will not make it. I pray yours all do well.
Please be aware of the signs of eclampsia (calcium deficiency). If your momma starts panting excessively and gets very restless that is the first sign. If she starts shaking and staggering then get her to the vet immediately. Eclampsia is life threatening for the momma.
