I have two 1 week old chihuahuas. Their mom died when they were a day old. Ever since then we’ve fed them “Just Born” powdered milk. But I need to know if they should get their shots earlier than normal puppies since they don’t drink their moms milk. I’ve heard that by drinking their moms milk they are temporarily safe from diseases. Please help! I don’t want them to die. They are the only thing I have that Is left from my dog.

My puppies are four weeks old when should they start drinking water ?

The babies were bottle fed the first three days, only two lived the mom killed the others. She took the two back fine after a few days. I moved the mom and the puppies to the outdoors a four days ago and they are adjusting well. Puppies are half basset hound and half ?

Why are my puppies still nursing and mom still allowing it?

My pekingese had puppies nine weeks ago and she still nurses them every now and again. The puppies eat solid food. Is this a comfort thing for the puppies and mom? Will this effect them when they have to eventually leave the nest?
Thank you for all the advice. I bought her a child size moon chair(spiderman!). She jumps in it to get a break. I think you loved me for that!

Another funny detail, now dad will come down and get a taste too right along side the pups. He’s different!

Just one week ago, my dog had puppies. I was wondering how old newborn pups have to be before you can start holding them. I have been very careful about handling these newborn puppies ever since they were born.
Also, my mom has this firm belief that newborn puppies will get suck from being handled too much. Is that true?
