How's the mum and puppies doing?

Hi Lankeela, That is so strange I had just come on here to give you an update. thankyou for asking. Well mum is still not too bothered with them. If she is laying down and one goes to her to suckle she will let them. But has to be watched as sometimes she just gets up and nearly stands on them. But usually she is in one room and leaves the puppies in the other room in there bed. In the day time my daughter and grandchildren keep on eye on her when she goes into the bed, just in case. But at night my daughter has to put the pups in the box the vet gave her and feeds them every two hours . But poor daughter is really worn out , she is sleeping downstairs and is up every two hours to them. Its strange because mum will carry her toy around and bring it to you but never picks up the pups. I was having a little cuddle with a pup yesterday and mum just came up and smelt him then walked away. Brenda x

Thanks for the update. They have got through the crucial first few days, so hopefully they will get on ok now. The feeds they need will lessen and they can start to be weaned at 2 weeks or so lapping liquified puppy food so that will make life a lot easier.
