Title: Gyp takes over for me! Post by: Demondoggers on November 22, 2012, 05:48:25 pm I have a gyp that just weind her pups and the same day I brought home a litter that was just born and their mom wasn't taking care of them. She instantly started taking care of them. Do yall think it will hurt her to let her take care of them? It's been a week and they are all ok, even her.

Title: Re: Gyp takes over for me! Post by: halfbreed on November 22, 2012, 07:06:02 pm she should continue to milk but be sure and get you some calcium supplement tabs for the gyp . a litter of pups prettty well drains a gyp of calcium and i would start to feed them pups a mixture of soupy puppy chow mixed with milk replacer as soon as they will start eating it and you could get them weaned off her by 3 wks old .
