It’s been a rough day today. My baby Doxie delivered her 2 puppies. The first a beautiful Black and Tan we named Maisy was still born. My wife and I tried CPR and I would try to rescue breathe for her........ didn’t make it. Second a beautiful Black and Tan male.......so far so good. The mother is crazy protecting him.......a special thank you shout out.....
Our *****es got cooked rice with boiled (and drained) ground beef and after mixing a portion (I kept the rice and ground separate in the fridge after cooking and cooling) of the rice and beef about half and half , a dollop (tablespoon maybe for your sized dog) of cottage cheese was mixed in.
You can reheat/nuke the rice and beef if momma prefers warm food.
Water can be added to it too. Important when nursing to keep her hydrated.
Watch her discharge to to be sure she's recovering well.
Too late now , but we let a whelping ***** eat a placenta or two. Sounds gross , but is important in nature as it affects hormones and production of milk onset.
Bummer about your lost pup. It can (obviously) happen.
Better early , that a drawn out struggle when/if something is amiss...
Woman usually agree , I'm not crazy about it but the old saying is , "there's nothing like puppy breath".
I'll warn you (like all new parents) about little critters. Don't step on it... You'll lose all kinds of hero-ship points.
