I've posted before if it was okay for the mother to leave her 3 day old pups for a stretch or so. Well, I've kept tracked yesterday and the pups need to feed every hour or so. The vet told me to help out bottle feeding them because the 3rd and 4th born are smaller than the first two but the pups seem to know the difference between the mom's milk and bottle... they wont bottle feed. So every time they're hungry i'd just grab the mom and put her back in the kennel.
Well, my thing is, the whole 24hrs she stayed with the pups and didnt leave. the next day i let her out she'd quickly go back in --usually when the pups cry the mom would go to them. Then yesterday she seem to like her freedom more than them? Its like she would rather lay on the couch and sleep on the couch than to sleep with her pups. Whats going on???
Her milk sack is pretty pink but are the veins suppose to be a dark color? Almost purplish? They look like its turning into spider viens?
