This is my first litter and they are 2 weeks and 1 day old now and seem to be thriving. However since birth I have noticed they have extra wet noses, its clear. I didn't think much of it as I did mention it to the vet when he came to see how the pups where getting on at 2 days old and he didn't say anything in response however last night I herd a sneeze. I keep the heating on all the time, they have a heat pad and the house is so hot its like a sauna!

Any advice would be fantastic thank you.

sounds like your house may be to hot? you dont need it to be like a sauna ....at 2weeks old i turn my heating down but keep the heat pad on if their cold they will go to it :)

Will they be okay? They wont die from the sniffles will they?

Just left the room to grab something to eat, came back to all 3 pups covered in poo. Mummy dog was with me, so I am guessing they are pooing on their own now. Cant wait for it to be a bit more solid...*vomit*

They are meant to have wet noses, I'd be worried if they were dry tbh.  After 2 weeks they can regulate their own temperature much better and you don't need to have the heating on full blast. Just keep an eye on them -  if they all sleep in a line then they are fine :)
