Alls well with my first litter of lab pups in fact I've really enjoyed it so far I've a great bitch who has been a great mother to 9 healthy pups 5 bitchs and 4 dogs .
on feeding the bitch tonight I noticed scratch marks from the pups so donned my glasses and very very carefully snipped the ends of thier claws Very hard work !! I dabbed a smear of olive oil on the bitches tummy .do the more experienced kennelmen do or use anything else the pups are 10 days old and the scratching not bad but I didn't want this to get more uncomfortable than feeding 9 pups could be .
cheers Norma
