Our 4-month old had a litter of four pups, four days ago. I'm concerned that the smallest one needs more food -- it doesn't seem to 'compete' as well as the others for mom's milk. Also not as adventuresome looking for food.
Q: Should I try to give her some one-on-one time with mom (isolated from the others) so she can nurse a little more, or would it be better to give her special attention coaxing her onto solid foods (pellets, alfalfa hay)? I generally haven't wanted to interfere with the mom+babies nursing routine, but starting to wonder.
Many thanks for advice,
