Derrrrr, because they can't use their hands!!! #2 answ: If she is rejecting it, she will not feed it, push it away from her or kill it. If she is carrying it around, she may be looking for a safe quiet place.

You mean why is MY dog carrying the puppy, well she needs to carry the puppy around to protect it b/c IT is a mother by the way.


How else will she pick up her puppy. Puppies are born with extra skin at the back of there necks that does not feel much pain. This allows the mother to pick up the puppy and move it around. In the wild this would be for the puppies safety.

Right I realize that , i should have been more detailed . It turns out she didnt like or feel safe ,perhaps even lonely in the area we put her whelping box. She kept carrying them to my dining room. So we moved it to that area and Mom and babys are happy now. Its been raining here for about two weeks and that may have made her uneasy my vet said.Thank you for responding. It was more the manner in which she was carrying them, in a stressful, anxious way that concerned me.So much so that I called my vet. Pups are only 4 days old and i was afraid they migjht get chilled or injured.

Why would a mother dog not feed some of her pups or even all of her pups?

Sometimes the mother dog may not have enough teets to feed her large brood of pups, or, if she refuses to feed the pups she may not be well and a vet should have a look at her. She may have an infection or another problem. There are some female dogs who do not make good mothers and simply refuse to feed their pups. Either the owner has to bottle feed the pups or, if a breeder get another female to feed the pups. The worst breed I've seen recently is some Doberman females who will, for unknown reasons eat her healthy pups. Sometimes females will eat a pup when it is first born if there is something wrong with it, but the Doberman females are different.
