mickanles Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 my young lakeland had her first litter 3 weeks ago and had 10 pups, lost 3, despite the wife trying to help out and bottle feed the 3 smaller weak ones. the 7 we have here are all big and strong pups, i think its just nature taking its course. ime sure your bitch will get her act together very soon and do a fine job as ours was a little slow to start feeding em wish you well and good luck with the litter.

peejay Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 cheers.. shes had 9, although that last one seems a bit weaker than othere. i m wasching her and she is letting them feed, but was going to try to give her a hand by hand feeding as well.

new to the flock Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 peejay, If she is feeding them then stay out of it. The only thing you should be doing is making sure the smallest ones are getting enough to eat. Good Luck and enjoy NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
