This has all been a crazy few months as we've anticipated the birth of these little guys and girl. The vet told us not to let Roxie get with pups so we always kept her away from the male during her "time". Well, accidents happen and she ended up with pups. We were afraid she'd have to have a C-section, but she ended up having them naturally! It was such a surprise, because we thought we had another week. They're big, healthy, and adorable, which is such a blessing!

However, we're afraid Roxie is not producing enough milk. It has been 24 hours since the puppies' birth and they are crying a lot. I have read on other websites that if the puppies are content they will not cry. I'm afraid if we don't solve the problem quickly we might lose these fragile cuties. Do you have any suggestions of supplements for her or for the puppies?
