Aww they are so cute. It is quite normal for the mother to lose weight while she has puppies...but make sure there is a plentiful supply of food available for her. She will need good nourishment what with nursing that number of puppies. Good luck  ____________ Dog: Katie

What are you feeding her? You feeding any puppymilk formulas? That could help build her up, a tub of lactol is something I'd recommend!
Welcome to the forum btw and congrats with the litter!  |
