| Need help asap on advice of surrogate mom put with 3 day old puppies Here is the information I have. An acqaintance of mine has just had a horrible ordeal. Brief background. She has 3 adult female yorkies. 2 went into heat the same time. One gave birth to 1 puppy yesterday. This morning the puppy was dead. Tonight she calls me hysterical and said her other adult female (she gave birth to 4 puppies approx 3 days ago was dead). She had called me earlier saying she was acting a bit lethargic. She gave her nutrical and syring fed her some ad/puppy formula (the adult female.) Well she has passed for current reasons unknown. The four puppies were crying so she took the other mom (put a muzzle on her) and put her in with the babies. She put the muzzle on her due to extreme fear that the mom would kill the babies that were not hers. Please, please advise. I am not sure what in the world to tell her and we are all so sick over the first baby dying from the 1st mom and now the adult mom passing with 4 three day old babies. THANK YOU!! |

| How often should they be eating. ? Should she take the surrogate out when done feeding? |

| Very sad when you to lose the mom. How is the other mom doing around the pups ?? Is she growling at them ? If she is licking them and cleaning them, then I'd say she will accept them as her own. If not they will need to be kept warm and fed every 2 hours. They will also need to be pee and pooed after they eat. |

| She is tenativly licking them and seems to be staying in the box with them so far. They have nursed on her. She's just scared sick that if she takes off the muzzle (used for trimming her nails) that she will bite them/kill them. She has not growled at them at all in the last 1/2 hour |

I'd just watch her close for awhile longer to make sure, but it sounds like she is accepting them. If she take her out of the box and the female put up a fuss wanting back in with the babies... then that is a good sign. | |

I would post in the Breeder's section, you will get more answers from others who breed. Good luck. I am sorry to hear of all the sadness.
