with this news, my guess is she "knew" he was not going to make it.. mom's often just shift that one to the side and ignore it.. perhaps she went to the extreme in this case and ignored the whole bunch..you were doing the job for her, right?? I am glad things are a little better with her and the pups.. now YOU need some sleep!!!

Bad, I did lose the one pup. He started struggling to breath about 3 am, and was gone by 3;30 am. Alli was very put out about it. I don't know how God or Mother Nature works, but seemed the minute he was gone, she became a good mother. She is cleaning them from top to bottom. She still has a bit of struggle figuring out how to lay in the box with all them babies, but all are very noisy and healthy. I think I can even leave her with them for extended periods of time. > THANK YOU all for your kind words and prayers and HELP. > I guess I never even said who these pups were out of.
