Yes. Just as long as you keep the mother with her pups,obviously. It depends on the mother dog. More specifically, on how much she trusts you. Some mother dogs will ignore puppies who have been handled by someone. It's best not to touch or move newborn pups unless it's absolutely necessary.
no
You should be able to feel the puppies move at around 6 1/2 weeks during gestation.
Mother dogs sometimes move their puppies soon after birth because they want to find a more secure place. They may not feel safe where they were. This can happen if there is too much activity in the area.
A puppies ear canals are sealed. It takes them about ten days after being born for their ears to finish development. After this, the canals will open on their own. The puppies hearing will be very acute as soon as this happens. Another reason is that dogs have very keen hearing, when they are little, the sounds would be deafening if they could hear them.
After her puppies are weaned.
about 3/6 weeks.
I would recommend taking them in to the vet as soon as possible as there is always a chance that puppies could be born with cleft palates, or other abnormalities that could cause them suffering and even death. I have taken our puppies in the day they were born, but no later than 3 days of age. It's reassuring too.
If she doesn't feed them very soon take action as she may have rejected them . seek vets advice as the puppies will soon die if they are not fed.
All puppies are born deaf, their ear canals are not open. The canals start to open at about 10 days old. As soon as the canals are open a puppies hearing is very accurate.
Okay, thanks!
As soon as they are born no. Around 3 weeks is when they're eyes open and they cant really see clearly until around 5 weeks.
yes, she will deliver soon.
