It's the moment that all breeders dread, the bitch refuses to feed her litter.
Or
Following elective or emergency caesarean, the bitch's health and welfare is compromised by the needs of a hungry litter
Hand rearing of the puppies
is the only possible course of action
-
I can help, my experience with raising difficult and even traumatised litters will give them a better chance of survival
-
It has been reported that some of the bull breeds and toy breeds make poor mothers, not all bitches take to motherhood well,why not give your precious puppies a generous start in life
I pride myself on my standards of cleanliness and care , survival rates are excellent and the puppies develop well both physically and in their disposition towards people. The gentle handling and contact gives them confidence early on
Because of the intensive and time consuming nature of hand rearing it makes more sense for me to house the litter at my home and take them to a stage at which either the bitch can receive them back or weaning. In special circumstances I may accept both bitch and puppies for a limited time
As you can appreciate costing this type of work can be difficult. The numerical size of the litter and the breed of dog will impact on the final fee. I can assure you there will be no "hidden" charges , a fair quote will be offered at the beginning of our contract with full details for you to peruse.
Hand Rearing of Kittens
Difficult circumstances following a prolonged kittening can cause lactation problems in many breeds of cat as well as dogs as well as the problems mentioned above.
I can offer the same care and
consideration to litters or individual kits, hand rearing them to aid them
through those first few perilous days of life.
