My dog had 2 puppies five days ago, and she favors the larger male dog over the small female. She will assist with elimination for the female and nurse her if we hold her down (not in a mean way), but she persistently carries the male dog to a different locale like under our bed. Also, she growls at the female pup alot. She stays with the male, leaving the female alone in the whelping box. My dog also doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. She is actively caring for the pups, but she doesn't eat unless we bring her handfuls of food. I've tried wet food even, but she isn't interested. I thought she was supposed to eat more now that the puppies are here. What could be the problem? My dog is our baby, and we are worried for her and her new family. Thank you in advance for your response.
