| Milk comming in and things to try? OK so my girl had 5 puppies on friday within 2 hours. 3 boys and 2 girls. The only trouble was the last big one had his are up over his head and was 6.5 oz but we got him out with no problems. THeir weights and times were 7am Boy 5.4oz 7:45 Girl 5.1 8:06 girl 5.1 8:27 boy 5.7 9:13 boy 6.5 Now I have been giving her welping pudding with out the yougart (keep forgetting to pick it up) but when I squeeze her tits not much comes out and some even none come out, I know that babies loose weight after birth is it the same for puppies? because they seem comfortable and are sucking but here are the weights two days later. boy 4.6 girl 4.4 girl 4.5 boy 5.4 boy 5.7 What can I do to help her get her milk. She had all the placentas come out so I didnt get the pop shot now I am thinking that I should have. Thanks

| If theu lose more than 10% of their body weight you need to do something. I would try supplemental feedings of the babies but don't stop them from nursing totally! Are you giving the mom a calcium tab every day? I would get them to the Vet. By the way, my Kalina never EVER had obvious milk - it never dripped, I could never squeeze any out of the nipple; but her puppies were obviously getting plenty because they were FAT and gaining every day. And, yes, being OCD I weighed them every single day. But yours are losing weight, so you need to do something right away IMHO. Good luck and let us know what the Vet says.
