Hi SallyAnne

Thanks for your response.

No, not distressed at all. She is feeding well and drinking, but not willing to leave the pups to do this yet. I’m passing the food and water to her. I’ve lifted her a few times to take to the garden, where she’s quickly done the necessary, and then legged it back. We’ve really respected her wishes, and not handled the pups etc ~ I feel she is being a really diligent mum.

With thanks
Maggie
