Yorkie Mama nesting now??? I have a yorkie silkie named Sammie. She had Pups on 16 Dec so now we are at day 2, she appears restless like she is nesting now, she is scratching the recliner, ...under the bed under the tables, like she is digging for gold. Puppies are healthy, she saw vet yesterday to make sure no residual pups or afterbirth. Vet gave antibiotic cepalexin, just in case. Her calcium levels are fine. Any ideas for the restless behavior??:eek: Thanks in advance for any ideas and advice |
She and her puppies should be in a confined area such as a puppy pen or ex pen, some place nice and quiet. Think this would probably make her much happier, and more content. |
She might be nervous and confining her might be best. She might be looking for a place to move her pups. I would watch her to.. calcuim makes them act strange and can come on fast. |
Update I immediately put her and pups in the play yard in the dining room. Looks like that solved it. I think she was looking for a "Safe Place" to put them. The papa is here but he is afraid of the puppies, and won't even go near the pen. I thank you for your advice. I never had a female, or a yorkie before, but fell in love with them. I had a min-pin before, so this is a bit different. ;) |
Glad that solved it. It was my thoughts as well, she was looking for a place to move them where she safer. |
Happy that solved the problem and she is doing well now. |

Yes, She should be confined to a small area, quiet and peaceful. I do provide a bed outside of the whelping box for my mommies to rest away from the puppies and they enjoy it, remember to keep a heating pad under the puppies as they do not maintain their temperature on their own yet. Congrats ! |
