Yes agreed, force feedings every 2-3 hours at the moment, rotating four pups at a time so we don;t chance having all pups at once shocking her more than she alreasy is. Thankfully my daughter, and fiance are great help since this is a two person job to do the feeding, cleaning efficiently to make sure all pups are fed every 2 hours or so. Things are slowly progressing. She will now allow them to nurse, without us holding her down. But I must sit there with her, and she will lift her lip and snarl if any go near her face. She is clueless to what they are, but is slowly accepting them since she will now lift her leg and hold it in the air on her own to let the pups nurse on her back nipples where before she would try to get up and run when they attempted to go under her leg. Hopefully soon, since I as well as everyone in the house is exhausted since it is a group effort here to keep things moving until she will accept them.

Your poor gall has been to hell and back, went to sleep and then woke up w/ 11 mouths trying to nurse in the vicinity of her painfully sore abdomen. Ann Marie will sit with her, your bitch will nurse the babies, learn to potty the babies, but she hasn't been through the normal hormonal changes that take place during a routine delivery, so this will all take time... My heart goes out to your co-owner who will be on round-the-clock duty for the next 72 hours...
