When the puppies are 7-10 weeks or less.
Probably about 80%.
Eating is normal for your pregnant dog. The puppies will get their nutrition from the milk which is supplied by the mother's nutrients.
It is common for a dog to eat the placenta of the puppies after she gives birth. On rare occasions, a dog will eat her puppies when they die or right before death because she instinctively knows that there is something wrong.
Yes, Check with a vet immediately.
No, puppies and especially puppies cannot skip eating. If they do, the puppies may result in death.
probably not. only if that dog has puppies.
it best not to have puppies with a dog from a dog shelter
because dog are dogs and dogs like eating off the ground its a habit for the dogs to do that :)
My dog is having the same problem, luckily we have another dog who tends to take care of the first dog's puppies, but still, why won't she pick up her own puppies?? The bigger dog takes care of the smaller dog's puppies.... the smaller one has never picked up her puppies...
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.
they are puppies, dog gone it!
