Boy I remember that whole deal. You and your family did a super job w/ the eleven puppies. It's something we all need to be prepared to do every time we contemplate a breeding....a great big kudos to you for getting it done.

I could not leave puppies with her for almost 48 hours, and someone had to hold her down to nurse every three to four hours then pups were taken away placed on a heating pad in a small box with a cover (like an incubator). She wanted nothing to do with them, and growled at them initially, so she was muzzled when pups were with her. I was extra careful since a friend had this happen, and their bitch ended up killing pups in a quick second so I would not take the chance of leaving her, or letting her with the pups until you are positive her hormones kicked in. Once her hormones kicked in, she was a very good mom.
