Yeah before the puppies she was 4.5lb. Since then she has stayed right at 5 lb. And she is 19 mo. This was her third heat. She isn't running a temp and doesn't show any symptoms most of the time. After the first time I took her, we really cut back her nursing (we brought her home Tues.). then Thurs she would nurse at all, same with friday. So the pups are completely weaned off of her. Since they hadn't eaten from her those two days I figured we would be in the clear. She does like to watch them eat and clean their faces when they are done. But if one starts to go for the teat she runs away, she wants nothing to do with feeding them at all. I feel so bad bc she is so engorged. Any advice on how to comfort her. I know she has to be uncomfortable.
