what are the basic steps to dog care?

two days ago, our dog gave birth to 5 cute puppies, as i have observed, the puppies are always sleeping and not taking or sucking milk from their mom. i wonder if its normal or there must be a vaccine for them to survive all 5 of them. what must i do the traditional way if there is any, the breed of our dog is actually mixed and i dont know what kind it is. all i want is for them to be alive and kicking. thanks.

You REALLY should call your vet and talk to them. You really have no idea what you are doing.Get some professional help....for the dogs.

just take them to the vet if you see any problems...some local shelters will take them and check on them for free...not many though..but if you can, take them and make sure their heart rate is up 'cus if it's low, rub them on their backs to get their blood flowing..but i would take them to the vet to get their first shots..

You must be a first time BYB. WHY WOULD YOU ADD ON TO THE POPULATION OF DOGS THAT WILL PROBABLY END UP IN SHELTERS!!!!
