Luckily for me, I had a bitch, Sue Bee, have pups the next day. I put the pups on her. Lost a few but the remaining 4 are doing great. She's taking them in as her own and they look and act great.
This Mastitis bitch I have has a history of this. I found this out AFTER I had her bred the first time and was "let in" on the fact this has always been an issue with her. So, I followed everything to a "T" on this one. Much better, but it was still there.
I'll give her one more go and try further precautions and see how it goes.
Sue Bee x PK pups are doing awesome. One of the reasons I went with the LG blood is that this line has such quality maternal females. She's done great with her own and taken on the orphans in style. Hope they all make it. All good dogs from good dogs.
