What should I do when puppies are born,i dont know what to do with them.?

Answer 1

weigh them
make sure mom doesnt sit or step on one and kill it
make sure they are all nursing
make sure the whelping room is very warm and water is outside of the whelping crate for mom
take entire litter and mom to vet with in 24 hours of being born

Answer 2

well..
make sure you have a nice area-- a box or carton like thing which is padded with newspapers and stuff like that-- make sure the carton is high enough so that the puppies dont slip out.
Keep the mother with the puppies-- she will do most of the work in taking care of them..
I suggest you go and talk to some professionals and dog breeders- because they know more about this..

Answer 3

I am assuming you have allowed the mother to give birth to them at home? You want to take each one, dry them off gently, use like a nose thing for a baby and suction out their mouths and noses, too (gently), then put them back down with mom and let nature take its course.

You cannot put them up for sale until they have been weaned. You need to take all animals (mom and puppies) to the vet so everything can be checked out and made sure its all okay. The vet can advise you from there, ok? Good luck!

Answer 4

take care of them!!! there is a lot of work that goes into it. talk to your vet or a dog breeder. they will help you. also if you are selling them or giving them away, start advertising NOW so you dont have them forever!!! ask people what kind of lifestyle they have so you know what kind of home they have and if a pet would fit them and then you can get to know each of the puppies and help them pick the best one or you could pick it for them. thats what a good breeder would do anyway, and I know you are not one, but at least you can use some of their skills.

Answer 5

Let them stay near their mother. She will do all the work. I put paper down for my puppies in a nesting box, it was big enough for the mother to climb in and out of but not enough for the pups to crawl out of. The newspaper was to collect any stuff that mama didn't clean up. I changed it a few times a day for the first week.

Answer 6

you have to let the momma dog take care of them, and if they need a bath, give them a bath, remember their eyes wont open for a few days up to 2 weeks, i think sometimes it takes that long, and they are very very fragile, and you shoudl make an area for the pups and the mom to lay down, we used to just make a little pen with plywood so the mom coudl get in and out but the puppies coudlnt leave

Answer 7

Let the mother care for them, make sure they stay close to the mom, get them to the vet soon to they will need a check up and shots! Keep a close eye on them. If you notice anything odd then call a vet.

Answer 8

You leave them alone and allow their mother to clean them up and feed them. Dogs have been giving birth for thousands of years without our interference and doing just fine. After they're born call the vet and find out when you should take them in for their 1st shots, worm tests, etc.

Answer 10

If you don't want puppies and have no plans for them when they are born, you should have your dog spayed. There are too many dogs without homes. Be a responsible pet owner.

Answer 11

The mother dog will take care of it for you. They need to stay by her. Keep fresh water and food available for mom and she will do the rest. As they get bigger, you will need to put paper down under where they play and fence them it a little, so they don't poo on your floors. At about six weeks they will need to go to the vet for shots. If you are worried still, call a vet in your area and ask their advice.
