My female will throw up food which the pup will eat. Why does she do that?
Full Question:
My female gave birth on 6/27/06 and her pups are doing great, but she will sometimes throw up her food and of course they eat it. Why does she do that? I asked the vet and she does not know why.Thanks,
Diana

Now that’s a good one – of all people WHO SHOULD KNOW it should be your Vet.
This is a natural thing for mother dogs to do. That’s what wolves and fox and coyotes do in the wild to feed pups.
With this said these pups 3 ½ months old – they should have been weaned and away from their mother in the middle of August ( a month ago).
