Dixie had 9 pups out of Jim. When I went to check them the following day, 5 of them were dead, leaving 4. Yesterday, another pup died, leaving three. I wormed them yesterday, and am hoping they will make it. I'm going to wait to see what happens before I let any pups go. I know I want to keep at least one, or maybe more. Not sure. I don't know what happened. I've never had this happen before. I apologize to those who spoke for pups. I will try again. Thanks for everyone's interest, and the many phone calls I received.

With no railing she might be laying on them

They were born one day, and the next morning five of them were dead. The dog house is large, but has no railing. I have lost pups one at a time, but never lost that many at one time.

My female had 15 once and lost all but 3 before I found out that she had an infection in her milk and I lost all but 3 within 2 days. One of her teats had an abscess and I couldn't tell till I took her into the Vet. Not saying that is your problem, but its worth checking. It's hard to believe she would lay on that many at once but I guess it's possible. Just one sip of that infected milk will do it. Just a thought. BTW, you may want to take them from her till you find out the problem, start bottle feeding them.
