Answer #1

Get prepared (might as well, since the chances are that there will be at least ONE pup who will need supplemental feeding)…you need milk replacer and a bottle. Also go to Walmart and buy one of those little scales to keep track of the puppy weights, so you know quickly if a pup is fading.

Have this stuff on hand…it’s a lot easier than rushing around in the middle of night trying to find something to save your puppies.

You might get on the internet, also…and find out what to expect when she is whelping…you got time…

Here’s a “whelping list” I found in 30 seconds of looking…things to have on hand.
