| The pups are not crying. They all seem very sleepy. They lost about .2 ounce a piece but her nipples are not swollen like my other females have been. I will go make her some chicken now. I am giving her tums, for a calcium supplement. Thanks ...

| just wanted to say congrats on those new babies! just keep a watch on her milk. squeeze her teats (not just the nipple) the under fleshy part once in a while to see if she has a good supply coming in. she is going to empty out and fill back up, so best to check her when she hasn't just nursed. |
