Thread: Raising a litter of pups - how hard is it really?

No I haven't, but with a first time mum you want to give a heap of positive noise etc.. when she's having them, as some can get a bit freaked out by the experience and may not take to the puppies. It's pretty rare since those hormones are going full tit ( pun always intended ). Supplementary bottle feeding was bad enough but if you had to do the main feeds every 2 hours......Ai Ai Ai
