She carries the puppy in her mouth and takes him all over the house,I don't know if it is because she misses her owners and wants to go home, today is the third day she spends here, her owners come for her in the afternoon.I afraid she is going to drop the baby on the floor and I do not have carpet. |

Do you have a childs playpen??? You could put them in there and make sure she doesn't jump out (cover it) good luck !!!!! :) |
Do they bring her bed when she comes to you? She needs to find a place at your house where she can relax. It is stressful for her to be trying to move the baby around. Also hard on the puppy. Make her a little den where it is quiet and private so she can settle down. Absolutely get the whelping pudding recipe and make it. Mom's love it and it is just the pick-me-up they need for nursing. Good quality puppy kibble (I use Royal Canin too), boiled or grilled chicken breasts, cottage cheese and maybe some chicken broth. Hand feed her, start with the chicken and get her interested in the kibble mixture. Put Karo syrup, just a teaspoon, in her water and mix it up. This gives energy too and makes her more likely to keep drinking enough water. Good luck. |
They have a secluded place and I made a nice bed for her with one of those plastic under bed storage boxes with towels and the electric heating pad, they go home in that same box, it's just the moving from house to house what has her like that |
Oh, now that you mentioned it, I've been changing her towels for clean ones everyday, I guess that also added to her stress, poor little girl. |

But three weeks is not a bad age.. I would cancel if any younger then that.. anne |
I know, and feel the same way, but her owners go to work and don't get home until late afternoon, I live 1/2 block away from them and I'm the grandmother:D, so I rather have them both over and look after them, until the baby is a little bit older, I would gladly keep them here for a while but I understand the miss their girl.This long weekend they are leaving for the keys, and will be taking mom and baby with them, so at this point the baby has more miles than hours after birth. |
Oh Wow. Any chance they would leave her with you? Mom could get so stressed out that she could lose her milk. Keeping her nutrition and hydration up are a lot of work on the road. I know, I've traveled with mine at 3 weeks also. It was way more than I thought it would be, and hard on everyone. Don't they understand this is a living being that needs to be cared for.... sorry just a little frustrating that people are so cavalier about these little helpless guys. Do your best to talk them out of taking the puppy. Its time they acted like grown ups. I do appreciate your position and that you are doing everything you can. Bless you. |
What can I say???? It is out of my hands |
I wouldn't suggest taking the mom and baby on a vacation. My babies don't even go out of the house (just to the vet) OR have people see them until they have their vaccines at 8-9 weeks old. :eek: I feel for you, I know its out of your hands :) Maybe suggest to them?? |

What a big heart you have to help with this little guy......although I dont breed, I know how stress effects the body, and mother's milk.....that would be very detrimental to the puppy if he cannot get milk......and fatal if found out to late...... Thanks Grandma, but remember.....Grandma's are always right....... |
Thank you all, and no,I would not take any comments in a wrong way, or personal, I know everybody is trying to help.I'm very fortunate to have found YT and all of you, so to keep you ladies in your toes..here goes my question of the day, latching on has become an understatement, now he holds on sucking so hard that I can hear him, I know she has milk because I can see the milk in his mouth, but just wont let go, how long can I keep nursing? If it was up to him, he will drinking all day!wait until you see the new pictures, puppy smell is the best:p |
