rikki angelica i love puppies my dog is going to have quite alot of them 12/31/2008
anuj Female dogs know by instinct how to care for their young. It comes naturally to them. In early weeks of a newborn puppy's life after the puppy feeds, the mother will lick them to help them with excretion. As part of newborn puppy care you can help the mama dog by gently massaging a puppy after it has eaten. This helps the puppy learn how to go. Eventually, as their system develops they will no longer need manual stimulation. This is good information to know especially when the mother is not around.

The mother dog licking her puppies has another benefit, bathing the puppy. Licking also stimulates blood flow in the puppy. A newborn puppy care task is to give the mother dog a hand in washing her puppies. Take a warm, damp wash cloth and gently rub the puppy. Take care to dry off the puppy afterwards, other wise there is the risk of the puppy getting too cold via the evaporation of the moisture.
