hand rearing 2 day old pups.........ADVICE PLEASE


Recommended Posts


i reared 2 pedigree alsation pups from new born, the bitch had 9 pups as quick as you like then just started killing them i managed to get 3 from her one died though. i rared them on lactol only. the first 3 days knackered me out i hardly slept.

 

once i fed them i got a small bowl of luke warm water soaked some cotton wool and wiped there ass to simulate the bitch licking them and make them go to the toilet, made sure they shit/piss after every feed and they were fine.

And don't forget to rub their backends with kitchen roll. They won't pee and poo properly otherwise. The mum would usually lick them to make em pee etc and clean it up at the same time but as she's not, you'll have too.

Circlular motions with a a folded piece of kitchen roll around the bum and bits. Shouldn't take long and they'll empty out.

 

Good luck with the pups.

Use damp cotton wool instead of kitchen roll: so their bums don't get sore.

If you can find another lactating bitch that will acept them, then thats your best bet,

 

if shes a first time mother than rejecting pups happens, we had it with one of our bitch's

the trick i did was to get another bitch in with them, and let the dam see them

dam was on lead, but she went for the other bitch and reclaimed her pups,

it dosent happen with every bitch, but for some just seeing another bitch

with the pups clicks motherhood in to place.

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,

      Just got this stunning little bitch, nearly 12 months old, Deerhound x Bedie grey.
      I used to go out with my dad's Lurchers when I was a kid but I'm a female in my 30's now and struggling to get back into the swing of things.
      I'd love to have this girl knocking down bunnies but I just don't know where to start, I've barely seen a rabbit or and other quarry since I moved here.
      Any of you experts in my area fancy giving me some advice/practical experience (hunting related only)
