Believe me I know, I don't wanna have to hand feed 7 pups several times a day, and wipe their privates and butts to stimulate poo and pee like she has to. I've been preparing gourmet meals for her, diced steamed chicken breasts, ground turkey mixed with pureed pumpkin and puppy food both crunchy and soft, her favorite has been oatmeal and crunchy puppy food with a little goats milk....luckily she only three and is producing plenty of milk, she got great motherly instincts, she birthed six of them alone right before I got home from work.....I saw the seventh, she gently tore off the placenta. roughly licked the baby to get it breathing and then clean it throughly, then carried them to a clean corner and laid down to feed them. When we moved them to the kennel she tried to grab them and put them back until we covered it with towels and made it a den, they like a closed in dark cool spot just like a little cave a mother wolf would seek out.....
the kittens have grown so much already i suspect steroids.
