Can the owner help feed puppies?
Its best for the mother to do that when the pup is still little. When they grow up u may feed it
Your beagle gave birth to three puppies last night this morning you found that one of them had died she will not stop crying and is hardly paying attention to the other two pups what should you do?
First of all, I would remove the dead puppy from the mother's view and gently have her lie down so you can assist the other puppies to attach to her nipples and nurse. If she's a first time mother, she might not know what to do with the live puppies and only appears to be crying over the dead one. In fact, she's probably just crying because she's stressed and has no idea what to do with her puppies. Keep other people away from the new mother and her puppies, this includes any children who might live in the home. Keep talking to the new mother reassuringly, pet her to keep her relaxed so her other puppies can nurse. Nursing will release a very important hormone called "oxytocin" which allows the milk to let down and also makes the mother dog feel "motherly" toward her puppies. It also stimulates prolactin production, which keeps the milk production going. The most important things to remember when caring for newborn puppies is keeping them warm, keeping them fed and making sure the mother is helping them to eliminate (pass urine and stool). If after a couple of hours the mother does not settle down and start taking care of her live puppies or if the live puppies don't nurse vigorously, don't appear to be getting "plumped" up while nursing or if they just don't seem "right" take all of them, mother and puppies to a veterinarian immediately. A healthy newborn puppy will nurse vigorously, it's little tummy will look rounded after nursing and it will sleep quietly for at least an hour or two between feedings. It probably wouldn't hurt to get all of them looked at by a vet anyway. Mother dogs often need a shot of oxytocin to help get rid of all the placentas and she might still have another undelivered puppy inside that is causing her distress. I helped my mother's dogs deliver puppies multiple times (she bred champion mini poodles and had a litter every couple of years when enough people had expressed a desire for one of her puppies). I probably helped deliver and take care of at least 30 puppies over the course of 10 years. I'm also a registered nurse who worked in neonatal intensive care, so I applied much of what I knew from taking care of preemie and full term human babies to neonatal puppy care. Good Luck to you and your dog. Puppies are so much work, but to me it was worth all of it just to watch them grow up healthy and go home with families who'd love them.
Do puppies get milk from there mother?
It depends on whether that mother is pregnant. Usually if the female dog is not pregnant, then there is not much of a chance of it being able to get milk from it, with the fact that the dog would not have produced any milk, but on the other hand it will still be able to do other things to care for it.

NO! Just No, Preferably 3 Months or 12 weeks. They Still need their mother's milk, unless you are willing to feed it to them in a bottle every second.

You should try to handle the newborn puppies as little as possible. Let the mother take care of them first.

Will a mother goat still nurse after baby has been bottle fed?
It depends on whether she is still producing milk or not and whether she still has a bond with her kid and how long the kid has been bottle fed.
Should puppies come out of the mother breathing?
Yes, they should. The airway is still cleared to make sure birth fluids are removed, but the pup should already be breathing.
