Is She A Bad Mother
« on: May 03, 2005, 05:40:47 PM »
flo had her litter, she feeds them well but does not clean them or clean up their poo,  she lickes them to do wee's, but will not do the poop, so they do the poop and then roll in it, so most of my pups are yellow stained from the milky poo colour, why will she not clean her babies, this is the first time i have come across this with the litters i have had, this is flo's first litter and i have to clean her babies for her with warm water and cotton wool, i got up this morning and it was on thier heads and a lovely yellow colour. any help or advice will be much welcomed.  the poo is a little loose at the moment but the pups are fine as they should be all feeding well and and gaining weight everyday.  flo managed to get some pasta the other day so i thinck that had somthing to do with it,

Not sure I'd want to lick someones bottom either  ;)  :lol:
Maybe its because she's not quite sure what she's doing being a first time Mum? Not sure if there are any pointers to get her doing it?
