Dog Sense Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi all, A Beagle I know in Ipswich had a disastrous whelping today with only a single pup surviving. To help the pup develop normally and to keep the bitch's milk supply up, we're presently looking for small-breed orphan pups that need fostering. If you have pups that need fostering, please contact me on [email protected] Thanks, Donna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Oh how sad. I hope you can find some little foster siblings for the pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipup Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Would you like me to share this on facebook? I'm in contact on there with a lot of people in dog related fields in Qld. I know of someone with orphaned 3 week old pups but they would be too old, I am guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes unfortunately 3 weekers are approaching weaning, so too old. Thanks. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 milk supply will be fine for one pup, she doesn't need to foster others and risk bringing in other bugs that could cause more problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelsquest Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 There's been some good threads previously around raising a singleton, might be worth doing a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Sense Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 milk supply will be fine for one pup, she doesn't need to foster others and risk bringing in other bugs that could cause more problems Maybe ... she's been spayed too though. I'm a former breeder, dog trainer and all over puppy development, singleton pups need siblings, especially as they're keeping the pup and there are small children in the household. The risk of disease from other healthy newborns is relatively low, esp when this pup's already getting his colostrum. I've fostered orphan pups this way before, if the bitch is accepting it makes the best of a bad situation for all puppies concerned. I'm not here to debate however and am still looking for puppies.

haven Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I can't help but just wanted to say good luck with it. I had a similar issue many years ago but was unable to find a foster arrangement, I hope you have more success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
