Yep, my bladder & knees go to jelly once I'm in the assembly area !! but as soon as we are in stride - concentration (not to fall 'A over T') and moving well together, & trying NOT to turn a triangle into a geometric nightmare takes over ! fifi

I just saw this, Oh I'm so sad for you Gayle and family what a shock Run free Benson, gone too young... fifi

With those responses, my gut is saying 'dealer', and my bet is the many pups they source will be on thier way to a pet shop in Singapore damn quick. Could be utterly wrong, but it sounds too suss either way. fifi

I divide the litter in half, they are in a large plastic tub next to the whelping box with a heat source at one end, and do the one or two hourly rotation for feeds. But seeing as we live in the whelp box for three weeks 24/7, if mum is settled & babies are fed & sleeping, I'll scoop them all together so they have plenty of time curled next to mum. It does get harder as they get older, the stampede onto the poor mum is quite and you feel so sorry for her. The mum will hop out of the box more frequently if she's had enough, so sometimes they need to be encouraged to hop back in and just a few at a time put on. (easier said than done once they are mobile and vocal !!!) Nutrition is very important and bitches are fed small meals at least four times a day, with milk/egg/yoghurt drinks and fresh water available all the time. You find you'll work it out as you go, every mum & every litter and breed is different. ETA; mum will produce to the amount of need, so unless there is a problem with supply or mastitis or ill thrift puppies, I wouln't supplement unless there was a need. and that's where good nutrition and fluid intake is important for mum. the more you top up, the less milk her body will produce...its a supply & demand thing. By the way...CONGRATS Aloysha :D fifi

Have you tried another vet ? your vet can do a script for you to take to another more conveniently open practice. fifi
