My female labrador gave birth to 11 pups last tues.what is the minimum no. of days I can keep them with mom?

Labs are known for their larger litters. You split the pups into two groups, the smallest pups feed with both groups. You make sure your ***** has plenty of fresh clean water and as much food as she can eat.

The pups should not be homed until 6-8 weeks with first shots and are eating fine on their own.

You can buy puppy formula and either feeding tubes from your vet (be sure you know how to use them and clean them) or bottles to give the smaller puppies more food. This is easily done. All puppies need to stay with their mother and siblings for 8 full weeks.

This has been shown to be best for their emotional development. It helps with them learning bite inhibition and it prevents other problems, too. It is illegal in most areas to buy, sell, accept or give away puppies of less than 8 full weeks old.

There is NO WAY that only 45 days would EVER be long enough (or legal).

Depending on where you live, legally it's either exactly 6 weeks or 8 weeks of age. The puppies who are larger and developing faster can switch to regular puppy food sooner than the runts if that's your concern. Either way, they should be able to start eating puppy food by around 3 weeks, or when teeth come in.

If scientific studies mean anything to you, 6 weeks. The top professionals I know like 7 weeks. 8 weeks has nothing but dumb laws and tradition going for it.

Reading answers here you would think 8 weeks came down from Mount Sini.

The pups in the litter need to stay with their mother and litter mates until they are 8 weeks old. Please spay your dog when the vet will do the surgery. I note you are in India and they have a huge stray dog problem there.

Minimum number of days is 48 days to eight weeks. Better try to feed them parallely with alternative milks and egg. Never ever try artificial foods.

8 weeks. After that, have her spayed or keep her in except for when you let her out to pee/poo in a fenced yard only.

EIGHT WEEKS.... You rotate the dogs so that half feed from her at a time, and you can buy milk replacer if necessary. Do not send them off too early.

56. In some states it is illegal to remove the pups before they are 8 weeks old; that's 56 days. It is better if they stay for 70-80 days.

Still they comfortable without their monther.

Shouldve thought of that before you decided to be a scummy backyard breeder. You maust keep them with mom dog till they are at least 8 weeks old.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
