B&B Happy goats
Herd Master
Yes she can with assistance,... she is learning to divide the litter and stagger nursing times...and .she is doing awesome ... enjoying her meals being warmed up and served to her "magisty the queen."..she only has eight teats and is a small standard poodle, but a focused calm mom who stays with her pups willingly...I do plan on supplemental feedings of puppy gruel at two weeks ( sooner if needed) , and will adjust from there...Jazz has four meals a day with extra protine, tons of fresh water and a personal heater to keep the puppies at 79 degrees.......nobody's spoiled here lolBeing a first time mom can she feed that many? All our dogs over the years that had puppies never had more than 6 or 7 that I can remember; so I have no experience with that many. I know with the hogs, we had to make sure there were enough teats for the piglets. I usually had litters of 10-12 born and never kept a female as a replacement that had less than 12 teats.
That is one "pile of puppies" .... they are cute.
