Puppies at 3 weeks old
Sassy the English Mastiff

At 3 weeks old, the pups are wormed with a mild wormer (they were also wormed at 2 weeks)

3 weeks old, FIRST solids - MUSH

Feeding did NOT go so well LOL ;-)

It was a feeding frenzy...

I obviously have to do in shifts, maybe 2 bowls

They just dove in, swam, and were more interested in swimming , and then licking off of each other.

Tips greatly welcomed... for a large litter, or BIG puppies LOL

Don't let a puppy suck on your chin, not even for 10 seconds.

At 3 weeks, the English Mastiff pups will get a bottle of Goats milk every night. Tonight I added water with Pablum to the bottle.

At 3½ weeks, feeding is going much neater

This little pup is thoroughly enjoying is dinner, every last morsel!

At 3½ weeks, the puppies started on weaning formula, and goats milk

AND they are all peeing, and pooping on their own, yipee!

Puppy about to poop

With solid food comes solid poops. Your pups poop should be good and solid, not runny and not diarrhea. This is one of the first of many poops that will need to be cleaned up.

Although this section is based on a whelping of an English Mastiff, it also contains good general whelping information in large breed dogs. You can find more whelping information in the links above. The links below tell a story about Sassy, an English Mastiff. Sassy has a wonderful temperament. She loves humans and Adores human children. An all around mild mannered, wonderful Mastiff. Sassy however is not the best mother towards her puppies, she is not rejecting them, she will nurse them when a human places them on her to feed, however she will not clean the pups or pay any attention to them. It is as if, they are not her puppies. This litter is getting moms milk, with major human interaction, manually giving each and every pup what they need. In return, the pups will be super socialized and will make remarkable pets, however the work involved is astounding. It takes one dedicated breeder to keep this situation healthy. Thankfully this litter has just that, a dedicated breeder. Read the links below to get the full story. There is a wealth of info that everyone can appreciate and benefit from.
