| Hi Tanisha. I can see from your pics that you keep everything really clean. The mom looks like she's in great condition. Her coat is sparkly clean. You mentioned your brought her to the groomers and it seems like you brought the puppies as well? That is definitely NOT a good idea. Young puppies cannot maintain their body heat themselves and they chill very easily and that stresses them terribly. They are a nice healthy size at this point but they are still very vulnerable to chilling. Keeping the pups warm is job 1. Since the mom has settled down now, leave her and her puppies in the same spot. Mostly new moms don't want to go anywhere except out to potty and then right back to the babies. It doesn't look like you have any heating apparatus to keep the puppies warm. There are different things that people use but I'm not going to recommend anything because you need to be really careful with them. Maybe you can surf around the web and look at different set ups that are used and see if you can figure it out. Make sure that the area that that pups are in is free from drafts. You might think it is good enough and it might not be so do some research on that. I know a lot of people put color coded ribbons on their puppies but it personally makes me really nervous. Can you tell them apart in any other way? Look at the stickies in this breeder talk section. Barbara |

She should be eating a fairly large amount right now. She needs to be eating a quality puppy food. Yes, you should be giving her more...she will need calcium supplements as well to avoid the onset of Eclampsia. Proper administration of this needs to be discussed with you mentor and vet. | |
