After going to my vet and 175 bucks later, problem is still not solved to my puppies satisfaction.
Mom is small mix breed cocker and maltese and she gave birth to six very healthy strong little pups on sunday. At first they seemed to be doing fine now, two of them i noticed today was not as big as the rest and tended to cry a bit more. Took a good look at wieghts a there is 2-3 oz difference between other four on the lite side,
one is a bogart and is bigger than the rest and was last comeing out.
Anyway, need to how to help mom make more milk, make healthier and in time to stop any further harm to pups without taking them off her completely.
Right now, i am rotating them, three at a time to allow for milk storage increase in breast and i am going to start warm compresses, fennel tea when i get it today and massage as well as trying to keep her away long enough for milk to come in. These pups are draining her dry. They suckle for 30 min or more it seems as though she rarely gets away from them.
Mom is a bit skinny but she is healthy no ribs or bones showing anywhere. Got her on puppy food and raw meat twice a week as well as fruit and veggies when she wants them..
She lost a lot of weight after birth. And she was never a big girl to begin with. SHE HAD SIX PUPS. FOUR BOYS AND TWO GIRLS
Please i dont want seperate the pups from mom unless i have no choice.
