What a surprise!

How is the momma doing?

Most females will tear the sac off and eat it for the nutrients it contains. This sustains them for the next 24 hours when they can't hunt for food. Was this what she was trying to do?

Is she willing to nurse? It would really be best if she could, even part of the time. Mother's milk has special stuff in it that helps puppies ward off diseases.

Please let us know how things are progressing.
