i have 4 yorkie pups and are 3 weeks old but the mum doesn't seem to have any milk they still seem content but the only lap welpie at some times and not others i'm worried they will get to week they are sturdy little things fist time doing this x

Usually my dams don't dry up until the pups leave- even with one litter of 7 she still had milk 12 weeks later. She may have more milk than you think is they're still gaining weight? it is a bit soon to wean yet, what is the mom getting to eat and drink- does she like the whelpi? It could help with mill production. What food is she on? Are they big pups?


And welcome to the forum!

there about 1 ib 5 oz there is 4 and when she dose go in to feed ther seem to rush as if they are hungrey 2 seem to lapp but the other 2 dont im just worried in case they arnt getting any milk thanks so much for your reply .val x

yea, yorkie pups are Very enthusiasic about food- especially from mum! a hungry pupppy will let you know about it- wont stop crying and loose weight and condition Very fast...
have you been trimming their nails? they get horribly pointy and as they pat at the mum to get the milk flowing, they can cut her to blazes- discouraging her from feeding them (even though she wants to). she will probably let them feed right up until the leave in 2 months time!
is she on a mother and babydog or puppy food and getting a little extra supplements throughout the day? i have always been told to give them one whole scrambled egg a day- it has the right levels of vitamin D and calcuim -along with extra protien- and they love it!
