This episode focuses on essential observations and actions breeders must take when the puppies are born.

Join us as we discuss the significance of puppy observations and what breeders should be looking out for, from normal vaginal discharge to the benefits of raspberry leaf as a uterine tonic. Learn about the potential risks of retained placentas and the impact of antibiotics on puppies' gut health and immune systems, which could lead to the dreaded "6-week squits."

Navigate the complexities of energy balance in nursing dams and the importance of daily puppy weighing to track litter gains or losses. We explore scales suitable for accurate puppy weighing and delve into common nursing issues such as frustrated milk moans and latching difficulties.

We discuss how to analyse puppy stools and spot signs of dehydration, ensuring each puppy receives the care it needs to thrive.

Whether you're a seasoned breeder or a newcomer to the world of puppy rearing, this episode of Breeders Brew is filled with invaluable insights and actionable advice to help you navigate the journey from birth to breeding benchmarks with confidence and care.
