> Urgent surrogate mum needed for 9 pups of a large breed , only 10 hrs old. In Derbyshire.
Your vet, or other local vets, may know where a bitch has just whelped. This may not work so I hope you are prepared to be bottling/tube feeding (which if you have 9 puppies to cater for, would be less time consuming - but you have to get it right) every 2 hours right round the clock. I'm assuming you have sadly lost mum which is a terrible outcome. Good luck.
ps There are a couple of kennels in my main breed in the Derbyshire area - if you look on Bassets - breeders on CD. Obviously I don't know if they have a lactating bitch right now or if they'd be willing/able to help.
