The mother ends up doing everything for her litter; keeping them warm, feeding them, stimulating them so they can defecate and even cleaning their feces. In the first few hours after their delivery, the puppies will be fed by their mother every two hours or so. Never interrupt that as these first milk feeding sessions will deliver the puppies with what is called colostrum. The Crucial points to note include: 1)Nutrition & Hydration Of The Mother. 2)Hygiene Of The Whelping Box & The Whelps. 3)Weighing Of Each Puppy Daily. 4)Keep The Room Temperature At 30°C (or 86°F). 5)Balanced Nutrition Of The Growing Puppies. 6)Stimulation Of The Puppies For Sanitation.
