A stray dog gave birth to 9 puppies in my unused garage, what do I do? General Dog Discussions
Okay so he res the deal. A not so stray dog gave birth to 9 puppies in one of my two garages. The reason I say not so stray is because we're friends she lets me touch her puppies and even go into her nest. This is the first time its ever happened and I provided some bedding for her puppies. The thing is I live in a pretty old house and the garage where the puppies are doesn't have a door and it has a lot of leaves and dirt because I live in the country. She's a pretty good mom, she leaves me alone with the puppies so she trusts me, but when it comes to the rest of my family she gets protective. I would take them inside but the thing is my mom doesn't really like dogs, she won't buy anything to help care for the puppies and their mother, I've been feeding the momma dog some food of the dog I luckily own, he's a chihuahua and we feed him puppy pedigree food I've been secretly doing it for a couple days now considering the puppies were born last week. Anyways I need suggestions on what to do without wasting money and to support the momma dog.Thanks for the answers, thanks to my step dad we'll be keeping 1 puppy and my mom said we're gonna give them away when they're weaned but i don't know if its gonna work out because the mom eats once a day when I read that they should eat more so they produce milk got any more advice? And I live in Puerto Rico we don't have all th stores that are in the U.S. my sister also saw me feeding the dog and she's mad because she buys it very often. My aunt's friend works at a shelter and I think they don't euthanize there and I've only been there a couple times for my dog's vaccinations, check ups and other things and also my mom's cousin has a lot of expirience raising litters considering that she's raise mor than a dozen chihuahua litters (yes, I got my dog from her) but i don't know if its gonna happen because she's studying now and she wasn"t before. Please give me more tips the puppies are in horrible condition and they have dir
