I would first see that they and the dog house are in a shaded area with plenty of water to drink. Normally the mother will clean up the pups after they are born herself so she'll likely do this if she herself is taken well care of. It sounds like a good idea would be to put them in a temporary shelter like a garage and hose out the dog house . Find some old rags to put down for bedding and you may give the mother a quick washing over. Like I said if she is well taken care of she''ll then take better care of the pups. Good luck with them

You should never clean a new baby or animal with water when they are first born. The reason for that is that it takes a couple of hours for their temperature to regulate. If you gave them a bath you could cause them to get pneumonia and die.
Even when we have a baby the hospital only wipes them dry. The next day they will give them a sponge bath but not that first day.

After the mother gives birth to her puppies, you should just gently wipe the puppies with a damp wash cloth

moms are very protecting of her her pups, incredibly even as they're very youthful. do not contact them even as they're nevertheless youthful and helpless. inspite of if the mummy knows you properly she may imagine you attempt to damage her pups. income self assurance contained in the mummy that you gained't damage her toddlers, and examine out petting them even as they're slightly older. For now, enable the mummy sparkling herself. she will be in a position to sparkling herself and her pups for now. provided that the whelping field is too small, or the pups were born in an un-acceptable ares (e.g. below a porch or on the mattress), might want to you attempt to flow them. Somtimes a mom will flow right here clutter by herself if there is too a lot possibility contained in the spot her pups are on the time. good success in any case!

Most of the time the mom will clean them up. You may want to wait until she moves out of the house and pull the pups out and clean up the house.
Why is she outside in the first place. That is no place for her to be having pups. She should be inside where it is clean and dry and no bugs.

I think you should leave them alone. Animals give birth every day without the help of humans. I would just make sure that there is enough water available for them.
