This was a sad day. 2 of the litters have not gone a day. The runt of the litter was dead just a couple of hours after birth. The other one, well we don’t know what happen. The minute he was still breathing then after that he was gone. What could have gone wrong?
1. It could be due to the rag that I placed in the whelping den. I suspect that the pup was covered with the rag and then suffocated. Lesson learned: do not place a small rag instead use a large one and then clip the sides so it will not fall off.
2. It could be the momma dog’s tits was not producing enough milk. Lesson learned: check if the tits are producing enough milk. Otherwise, manually fed the pup with formula milk. Consult your vet about this stuff.
