Congrats on your new babies, 4 wow that is a blessing. I hope everything continues to go smoothly for you. She may be scared of them because she doesn't know where they came from. I had a friend who had a litter of Cotton de Tulear or whatever they are called. Well she had a c section and only 1 pup was born alive. The mom rejected him and never took care of him. I hope Laynee accepts her babies soon for you. Good luck

she wont lick them or do it on her own, shes scared of them

You'll have to diaper them. Take a warm cotton ball and rub their private areas.

She's still under anesthetic.....

Did your vet instruct you on the eclampsia. Possibility may exists that these pups will have to be hand reared

I know you've been through so much these last few days, I don't think I could of done what you have done, you have been taking super care of your baby and I really hope everything turns out great for you and that you can finally start to get some rest soon! I know how toddlers are and I don't know HOW you are doing it!!!!! YOU GO GIRL lol

Oh wow! Finally! Congratulations

I've been following this thread (and its predecessor) for awhile now... I have absolutely no experience in breeding, reading this thread has been an eye opening (and stressful!) experience. The support and input from knowledgeable breeders has been amazing, and comforting to you I'm sure.

Best of luck with the little ones. Hope mama recovers quickly and takes to them soon!

thank u. i feel blessed...but im gonna go lay down with her. as long as i lay holding her she will nurse them. im still trying to get her milk to come in

[chachi]

Your babies are beautiful! Do you have postal scales or a kitchen scale so you can get their weight? You will need that so you can keep track if they are gaining or losing weight

They are beautiful!! Congratulations!

When we had the c-section, it took about 12-18 hours for my girl to accept her puppies. Just make sure that you keep her stitches dry. I would take a clean dry wash cloth and pat her belly. I know that they can get infected from the sweat of the teats when they are full of milk. You also want to make sure that you trim the puppies nails back because they can scratch and that can make the incision infected as well. It also hurts them more because her incision will be sore.

Congrats on your puppies.

Don't forget to weigh them and make sure they are gaining. Did your vet give her an oxy shot to help bring in the milk? Mine did with the c-section and it helped a lot. He explained to me that as long as they nurse, even though she is spayed, she will make milk.

the more they suck on her the more milk she will produce, if you really notice that she is not producing enogh milk and the pupies are crying and hungry then you have to feed them by hand. make sure you have plenty of goats milk..
