Just how we get food. When the mom eats we get some of the food.
the other puppies will be born and the dead puppy will simply just come out.
For the first few weeks, puppies are nursed on milk produced by the mother dog. As the pups develop they need to start transitioning to solid food. If assistance from the breeder is not available to produce gruel for the puppies to eat, the mother dog will eat and partially digest food which she then vomits for the puppies to eat. This sustains the puppies while they practice eating solid food until they are able to digest it themselves.
When the puppies start eating solid food, they suckle less and the mother's milk will dry up.
The Mother licks their bunghole, if you are bottle feeding puppies better get a dental dam.
It is not recommended for the mother dog to nurse her other puppies after consuming a dead puppy. This can lead to health risks for the remaining puppies, such as infection or toxicity. It is best to consult a veterinarian for guidance in this situation.
As soon as you find out your dog is pregnant, you should start feeding her puppy food, because it helps the puppies inside her develop properly and come out healthy. And you should continue to feed her puppy food after she has the puppies, because it gives her millk the vitamins that the puppies need. Keep feeding her the puppy food until she is no longer nursing the puppies.
About 4 weeks.Then the puppies get teeth that hurts the mother.
Dogs start to produce milk when they need to feed their puppies. If your dog has milk but has no puppies, the puppies are probably inside the mother. You just need to be patient. Hope this helped at least a little bit! ;D
If the puppies are with the mother then you should keep them with her until 8 weeks of age. The mother will instinctively wean the puppies on her own, but you may need to help her by removing her from the puppies. The puppies can technically be taken away after 6 weeks, but the longer the puppies are with the mother the better because they will learn from their mother.
its not recomended. the mother will become worried and begin looking for her puppies everywhere. it wont be a break for her. and the puppies will be whinning constantly for milk. the puppies might also die without food. the mother and pups would probably be okay with an hour or two away from each other
If your dog has pups under the house you can move her and the pups inside. Moving the pups will not make her stop feeding the puppies. Mother dogs are very protective of their puppies, so be careful when you move them and do not let anyone she does not know near them.
6 weeks. You should start giving them softened puppy food.
