Hi,
My daughter's Chihuahua gave birth to 6 pups..They are now 7 weeks old and she has been trying to wean then for a couple of weeks now. My daughter who freaks out thinking the babies aren't getting enough to eat holds the Mom while the babies suck,and that's the only time they get to nurse. But she's noticed in the last couple of days that the mother's breast are swollen and so very hard! I told her to put those pups on food and water,and NOT to hold mom anymore that they were plenty ready to eat solid food! What can be done if anyone knows,to comfort the mommy? I know those breast have to hurt like that..Thanks,,
