Hello,
My name is Michele Deadwyler. I have a three and a half year old pit bull who just had her second litter of 10 puppies. I waited over a year to breed her this second time. However she is acting very strangely. She does her best to get away from the pups, and shakes terribly when she is with them and whines also. The pups are only 8 days old. I let her out to have time by herself for at least a hour and a half, but when the pups start whinning wanting to be fed she will not go back there, if she does it's only to sniff them then run. This has just started about a day or two ago. I have to force her to feed the pups sometimes, which I do not like. She did not do this with her first litter. She has also lost weight terribly. She will not hardly eat. She wants people food, even though we have never fed her people food before. She will try to jump up on the counter to get to plates. She was given vitamins and supplements before and during her pregnancy, she refuses to take them now. I am worried that she might turn on her pups. She does not want me to touch or go near them she tries to push me away and sit on my lap so I will pay her attention and not the pups. Does anyone have any thought on what I might be able to do?

"She has also lost weight terribly. She will not hardly eat."

Have you taken her in or talked with the vet?
Blood, urine tests?

She sounds sick to me, maybe she instinctively knows her illness could sicken her pups through breast milk <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Take this dog to the vet!!!
