What do you do when a dog has babies?

Answer 1

When a dog is having a puppies you want to make sure she is in a quiet dark place (e.g. closet, laundry room) wherever is dark in you house. You also want to make sure they are comfterable make sure the towels/blankets that you use are ones that you are not attached too (they will probably get blood on them when she is giving birth). Put the towels/blankets in a cardboard box big enough for the dog. If you have a big dog (e.g. Irish Wolfhound, Great Dane), you will want to cover all the the floor around her with towels because they won't fit in a cardboard box, lol. Another good idea is a kiddie pool (you know one of those plastic ones). That way when they give birth the puppies can't get out but the Mom can easily come in and out as she pleases. Now for preperation, the days following up to when you think shes going to have birth make sure that you have everything ready (e.g. towels on floor), And when they are giving birth you want a phone beside you and your dogs Vetrinary Phone Number in case anything goes wrong. And when you think shes going to give birth DO NOT PICK HER UP!! Don't pick her up but suggest to her by giving her tiny pats to come this way towards the cardboard box/kiddie pool/toweled floor area. Once she is lying down stay with her the whole time let her lick her puppies when they are coming out this will clean off the puppies and she will lead them towards her nipples to feed if you think anything is going wrong at all call the Vet! Then after that you will have to see what happens!

Answer 2

Sell them or keep them or sell some and keep one. Depends on how many puppies your dog has.
when the dog is in labour get lots of towels and lay them down put the girl dog on them and when the puppy comes out the mother may lick of the sack if it doesnt work jently breack the sack then carfuly strock the baby to get the goo of. Remember to help the dog breath try to tack the goo out of its mouth and nostrils reapeat it until all the babys come out hope that helps
Well if your dog has Pppies that you think you can't take care of or you just don't want too many doggies runing around than you should give them away to people who you think would take great care of them or you can sell them or even give them up for adoption to you local Animal Center. PLEASE DO NOT JUST LEAVE THE PUPPIES ON THE STREET!!

Answer 3

If your yorkie is having puppies, you should see a puppy being born about every 60 minutes. If you know how many puppies your dog is having, make sure that they all come out. If your dog is in distress, it should be taken to the vet.

Answer 4

if the motheres producing milk then make sure they can latch on, otherwise you can try bottle feeding them once they are older (maybe 3 weeks) goats milk is the prefered milk to feed them if the mother cant. it is best to wait 8 weeks before giving the puppies away. do not feed them mushy dog food until they are old enough, and its essential to slowly introduce it by soaking the kibble in goats milk and mushing them together.

Answer 5

Well after about 4 weeks the puppies will start to eat puppy food. You'll need to buy small pellets that are fed to puppies and not adults. Caring for the dog means taking it out every hour, because their bladder is so small it fills up fast. It needs to have food every 2 hours, or leave it out. They need attention almost every second because they'll chew on things.

Answer 6

Keep handling to a minimum for the first few weeks, new mums can be very unpredictable and may be very protective and also contact your vet on when there vaccinations are due.

Answer 7

Take her anal temperature. When her temperature drops to 98.9 and below, she will have the pups within 48 hours. You can either do this. or go to the vet immediate;y

Answer 8

Give your dog and her pups a soft place to lay down, if your dog is outside its best to bring her in the house along with the pups, some place warm for them to lay down.
