Well now its down to 11 babies,she rolled over onto 3 last night and killed them.(Common in large litters,since its hard to move around them)
When I checked on them this morning she had those 3 tucked in a corner, all covered up like she was mouring them or something.
Poor girl,she is doing such a good job,but she still keeps losing some.

Soo sad. I hate it when the loose babies. We had a Boxer that had 10 pups and she lost one on day 2. I had to tube feed the others to keep them going as she wasnt producing enough milk to sustain them all.

That is sad. They did so well for so long.
here is hoping the rest do very well.

So cute! The ICR line we use at work usually have 12-16 pups, but once we had a litter of 22! poor moms.
