I have 3 puppies to a first time mommy, I have been to the vet already, we are tube feeding the runt. Been through a lot with them. Mommy dog has had to have an IV with fluids. But Anyway my question actually is what is the normal behavior between mommy and puppies at 1 week old. I know she isn'tt going to want to lay down for 6-8 weeks but how long is ok for her to want to be away from them?
We have ongoing appts with our vet so anyone that wants to be smart and say go to the vet, I have been. I am just wondering about this and other ppls experiences with similar things. She isn't a very good mom, we are doing almost everything for them.

any input is appreciated. Thanks!!!!
