Yes, after you have satisfied yourself that there is nothing more that can be done for the puppy, you should remove it. Mother dogs don't know how to count, but if she gets used to the puppy she may begin looking for it after you remove it. So it's best to remove it as soon as possible.

How soon can you remove the puppy from it's mother?

How long for a dog to be sad after giving birth to stillborn pups?

Dogs are not like people, once her milk dries up she will be fine. It takes about a week. They are stressed if they do not have a puppy to nurse so if you know someone that has a puppy that is under 4 weeks of age you can give it to her to mother. You must be very careful though to watch and make sure she does not kill the new puppy and you may need to supplement with extra milk since her milk has not fully come in as of yet. If you do not have a puppy for her you can take care of engorged breasts to make her more comfortable and can even give her a small stuffed squeaker toy to mother. To give her relief if her breasts are full of milk you can put warm water in your tub up to the top of her breasts and let her stand in it for 5 minutes. The warm water will draw out the access milk and give her some relief.


How does a puppy acquire its food?

Most puppies first live on milk they get from their mother, who nurses her litter; but after about four weeks, once puppies have begun to grow in size, they will transition to more solid food. If the puppy is a pet, it will be given dog food by the person who owns it. There is even special puppy food these days, to make sure the youngest animal gets their nutritional needs met. If the puppy is a stray, living on the street, its mother will nurse it and then try to find food until the puppy is old enough to go out seeking food on its own.
