Since my mini Dach is so close to having her pups, I've already made her a safe and comfortable place for her to give birth. But, after I clean up the mess when the pups are born and replace the blankets, do I need to keep a heating pad in there with them so they won't get cold or will they be okay without one? We keep our thermostat set on around 75 degrees in the summer so it's not cold in here or hot to us humans, but would it be cold to newborn pups?
Also, I know that when the pups come, they're gonna be crying at night. Anyone know how we can get some sleep? Our "Mama" dog sleeps with us, so her birthing place is in our bedroom, and her pups are gonna stay in there with us at night too.
Thanks in Advance!
