Our collie dog has absolutely turned on her pups. It's her first litter, and there are only 3 puppies. I could hear them through the night last night and then they woke me up this morning. I went out and checked her, and she's so engorged that she's leaking milk. I took her over to the pups, and when they came at her, she attacked them. I got her out and checked the puppies, they're okay.
So, now I have 3 five week old pups with no momma. They're mix breed pups, about 5-6 lbs each. I've started them on Puppy Chow, but can they be weaned so young?
And any idea what would cause her to turn on her pups? She's a very gentle dog.
Thanks-
