am realy not having it easy ! pups are now 6/7 days old
went into the pups this afternoon and both them and mum have diarrhea mum has been having her normal tin meat with puppy food wich she had while in whelp. all but 1 have put on a little weight since yesterday one has lost 0.1 oz is at anything to worry about or should i wait a few days and see if it clears up. Pippa is not the best bitch for cleaning so is it normal and it just that my other bitch is just hides it as she is super clean with them??
Thank you once again for all your help

When you say pups are runny ... most pups at that age don't produce solid droppings but
a sludge of yellowish stuff that looks like clotted milk ... mommy's stomach may be upset
because of eating up the puppy poo. I don't know what you feed your mommydog on but
I find some nice cottage cheese now and then, shredded apple-and-carrot puree in a
youghurt as well as lots of boiled chicken and veg (sweet sellerie) helps with that.

did the vet put her on antibiotics ? sometimes they can upset the tum a bit . I dont like tinned meat I prefer a good all in one dry puppy food then I add a little fresh (frozen then thawed) meat to up the protein .
try a bit of chicken or white fish and boiled potato so she isnt hungry to let her tummy settle , if she ate the placenta then she could also get upset tum from that.
Personally I never leave my puppies I watch them constantly sleep in same room only leave when someone can relieve me (difficult when on own I know)  to make sure all are feeding and getting there share, you will always have one or two that hog the milk bar .Any I find are slightly lower in weight I bring mum out onto my bed and let  those puppies have a sly feed  until I feel they can hold thier own...I find once one starts to feed they all wake up outside the whelp box its a bit easier.

A friend has just lost a pup at 1wk when mum layed on her.
