Day 04.
No particular changes in the puppies’ behaviour can be observed. They sleep or suck all day and the mother helps them to pee. They poo only sporadically (once every 3-4 days), using all of the milk for growth. They gain weight every day. The mother cleans herself for about three weeks; the vaginal discharge is reddish-brown and odourless. The mother cleans the litter box and the puppies and leaves them only when she needs to go out. Ideally, the breeder only cares about the wellbeing of the mother.
