Okay - So I have done my research and recall the sweet puppy breath from my first, Bailey. However, my new pups are about 2.5 weeks old now and have SKUNK breath! I mean pure horrible breath! They only drink from the momma so what could it be? Chloe has been having her puppy food and some Nutrical - nothing out of the ordinary. What does the breath say about their health?

Other puppy questions - when do they stop nursing and when should I feed dry food? Would they take to dry food naturally? They seem to want to nurse on the mom 24/7! Will the mom naturally stop producing milk when it is time to wean them?

Also, mom is always licking puppies to go to the bathroom. I know this is natural but the pups are starting to pee on their own. How can we get the momma to stop licking the pee and poo? Ugh - i mean she is our princess - it is just gross for me to see her lick up all that stuff - even though it is natural.

Thanks in Advance!
