I seem to think he/she is either cold or hungry because when I put him/her on top of mom he/she quites down. Are my puppies "safe"? What are my odds? Is there anything I should be looking for? or worrying about? I really do appreciate all the advice and prayers. Thank you all so very much!
Oh, another question I live in a two story, the pen is in my bedroom, can it be moved so when I'm downstairs I can keep a eye on it and vice versa? Or are they ok on there own? Am I just being over vigilante? |
Congrats on your new babies, the one crying make sure she/he is eating ...take the larger one and suppliment him/her with puppy formula and place the screamer on a teat often (every hour). Her milk should be coming in stronger by today. Make sure the babies are warm place a heat pad under the whelping box at one side, dont cover the entire bed so mom can get to the other side its too warm for her.
Since mom had such a large litter make sure you give her a lot of extra feedings of protein like chicken and rice, goats milk, cottage cheese, cheese mixed into her quality dry puppy food, also give her 1/2 tums in the am and 1/2 in the pm. She needs a lot of protein and liquid for such a large litter.
Hope this helps, best of luck and congrats once again.
