hiya,
i rescued a pedigree chocolate lab four days ago,and the litter is doing fine,but mom keeps dropping one puppy at my feet,its not the smallest puppy in the litter,but what on earth is she doing this for?,she is my first dog,and i love her and the pups to bits,i cant stop worrying about this,i have taken them all to the vet,and he could find nothing wrong with this puppy,but my heart is telling me something else.
awaiting a quick response please,vicky

You have to remember that your new dog not only has to cope with having a litter but also being in a new home. She could be very unsettled. Try to confine her to one room so she can't keep presenting you with a puppy. Sit with her and reassure her in the whelpng box, or wherever she is with her puppies. It will be very time consuming but she needs a lot of reassurance at the moment. Make sure she has food and water that she can reach without having to go too far.

Hi Vicky

Where did you rescue her from? If you know she is a pedigree Lab then you I assume know who the breeder is ?

Perhaps if you contact them they maybe able to help.

It is a big job bringing pups up and with her being you first dog also being a Lab you will need some help.

If you also need help in homing the pups then please contact Glenys at Lab rescue and she will be able to give you advice and help.
