My Dog just had 10 Newborn puppies only 3 days old. How old do they have to be, to be seperated from their mother? Eat real dog food. If anyone could give me a timelime on their growth and more!
Thanks everyone, the puppies are mixed breed. Another question is it ok to pick them up at 3 days old? If do do I use gloves or anything.

My chihuahua had puppies 3 weeks ago and now the pups are COVERED in Fleas. I had to wet the one puppy to get the comb through its fur and to get the fleas to die. They are small puppies and I am afraid for them. My chihuahua didn’t have fleas until about a week and half ago and I treated her with what the vet reccomended. The vet is not in the office all weekend for me to call her.
I actually heard dawn is fatal to puppies as are pesticides. Was just looking it up online and saw something called diatomaceous earth that can be used on them and their mom. I will call my vet in the morning to double check. Gave mom a bath tonight and put them all on cedar chips too as cedar kills fleas naturally. I as well noticed I did not have fleas ALL winter long now my dogs all have them and the one cat that escapes. They are making a last ditch effort for warmth.

My puppies are 5 days old and the mother does not stay in the welping box any more. I put her back in there to help them feed but I am not sure if they are satisfied and that is why she gets out, maybe to take a rest. I just want to make sure they are ok, can anyone help?

This is my first time delivering a litter of puppies. I have two pure bred cocker spaniels that mated and now she will be giving birth in the next few days. How soon after the birth can the dad visit his “wife” =) and his new pups?

Thank you for helping, please no silly answers just serious ones.
