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...
the dog is sad very sad!
Bring her and the puppies to a vet immediately.
Puppies are carried in the middle abdomen of a female dog. After the puppies are born, the mother will move the puppies by carrying them by their necks.
Let her clean them and don't pick them up for about 1 week.Unless your dog really understands you she might just let you pick them up.Good Luck
Pick it up
No it is not ok for a female dog to lay on her puppies. It could lead to suffication, or if they are very young puppies, which are very fragile, it could break their bones. You should make your dog get up and move the pups out of the way.
Yes, unless you are a mama dog moving your puppy.
You will feel the puppies move around week seven out of nine weeks. They don't move that often but you can fee them move. It also depends on the breed of dog you have, and also how big your female is.
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.
probably not. only if that dog has puppies.
it best not to have puppies with a dog from a dog shelter
Well, usually they don't, but if a female dog has puppies they are VERY protective of them and sometimes wont let the father get close till there eyes are open. I know because i once had a friend who had a pug and she had 3 litters of puppies and did the same thing!
