Countrykid 1 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Uhh Sorry but this litter sounds slightly "retarded". Are they inbred? Because they seem VERY messed up. If it's just the bitch has something wrong that makes her not breed good pups then i'm sorry to hear that. Quote Link to post

Dave C 63 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 This may seem harsh but any pups with the defects should be put to sleep so you can concentrate your efforts on the health litter members, i know if you reduce the food intake of the Dam it will reduce the milk, but this seems a very strange case, like Beechessam says talk to a vet and follow there advice, even if it is harsh on the defected pups. Good luck and keep us informed. Dave. Quote Link to post
sh 08 17 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 to be honest a bitch cant make too much milk, the pups will drink what they need. I find it hard to beleive that they said split them up. Does your faily member not check all pups daily??? surley they would of spotted some were not quite right Quote Link to post
