Good day,

My dog gave birth to 5 puppies on Monday but unfortunately I av lost 4 of them remaining just one. According to the person helping me to take care of the, she usually finds them dead in the morning, she believes the mother sleeps on them while feeding them overnight.

Please what can I do to prevent the last one from dieing and please what is the best way to take care of just littered puppies.

I believe knowing this will help me save the last puppy and also subsequent litters

Take it away from the mother at night and let it sleep somewhere warm. Feed it with a vet-approved milk formula. Good luck.

I guess the mother slept on it. I instructed that the mother should be separated as adviced here and later asked the Vet to go check them up the following day, the Vet only confirmed to me that they were both okay not knowing that he gave the girl another instruction to put them together, wen I called him he apologized, he said since that was not the dog's first litter. I was mad at him even from the last litter 5 survived from a litter of 8 puppies.

As it is now, I don't think I can really trust the vet's judgment. Please how do I go about preventing puppies from dieing ? Presently one of my dogs is pregnant while another one just matted ,hopeing it will result.

Please help with steps to be taking right from the first day of litter.

Thank you

No idea bro. But you can goggle it.

sorry for d loss bro my bitch littered 15 puppy's 8 days ago nd I lost 2.what I'll advice is to show little attention to both d mother nd d puppys by checking on them every two hours at night nd ensure that all are sucking enough milk frm d mother nd also d mother's bowl shud never b empty. I lost d two pups because of d advice i got frm a vet not to treat them @ five days old. after I ignored his advice after loosing two pups nd I was able to save 13pups

Thanks
