Moms biting pups. 1 Attachment(s) Lucy had her first litter 4 and 1/2 weeks ago. She had 5 pups. Everything’s gone great but now she is kind of mean to the pups. One got out this morning and tried chasing her down so she started biting hard on his ears. I have seen here do it a few other times but normaly she just bites them and then runs so she can get away. Is it normal for mom to start biting on the pups? |
This is very normal. After the pups start getting more active many moms like some alone time. I've never had one actually hurt the puppies. |
My molly did the same to her pups at about the same age, freaked me out but she seemed to know what she was doing. |
She spends almost no time with the now. Fortunately there eating pretty well. |
Welcome to YorkieTalk Welcome to YorkieTalk Your puppy pic is cute ! Its normal for them to start doing that around this time. It may be a bit early but all dogs are different. I'm glad they're eating well. As she weans them she will even growl at them This is normal also. |
Some momma dogs just try to wean the babies earlier than others or it could be that your mamma is just trying to teach them that feeding time is when she says and not when they demand it. I always have mine setup so the momma can go see the babies anytime she wants (I put a board across the front of the x-pen so she can jump in and out). Usually when the momma is starting to fill up with milk she will be ready to let them nurse. |
