Today the puppies are 4 days old. And it is remarkable that every day they increases their weight and size, thanks to Mama Luna is responsible for feeding them. Below you can see a video that proves it: these puppies are voracious! For the mother does not have problems as puppies grow and demand more milk, you need to give it a month before delivery and after a suitable feed, rich in calcium, and even some calcium supplement tablets. Otherwise, the mother may suffer eclampsia, a serious illness.
Of the four primary reflections puppies have at birth (dig, suck, perineal and transport), the nursing is certainly the most obvious, and is what they spend most of the time. Although at the moment they can not see or hear, their sense of touch is well developed, so that find the breasts is no problem. Their eyes will open at the end of the second week of life.
A curiosity: In the early days, the first milk that the mother produces is called colostrum, milk denser and rich in antibodies that protect the puppies from infection. Then the mother will produce milk only.

Hoy los cachorros cumplen 4 días. Y ya es notable que cada día aumentan su peso y tamaño, gracias a que mamá Luna se encarga de su alimentación. Más abajo podéis ver un vídeo que da fe de ello: ¡estos cachorritos son voraces! Para que la madre no tenga problemas a medida que los cachorros van creciendo y demanden más leche, es necesario darle un mes antes del parto y con posterioridad un pienso adecuado, enriquecido en calcio, e incluso algún suplemento de calcio en comprimidos. En caso contrario, la madre puede sufrir eclampsia, una grave enfermedad.
De los cuatro reflejos primarios que los cachorros tienen al nacer (escarbar, mamar, perineal y transporte), el de mamar es sin duda el más evidente, y es a lo que dedican la mayor parte del tiempo. A pesar de que de momento no pueden ni ver ni oír, su sentido del tacto está muy desarrollado, de modo que encuentra las mamas sin problema. Los ojos los abrirá al fin de la segunda semana de vida.
Una curiosidad: Durante los primeros días, la primera leche que produce la madre se llama calostro, más densa que la leche y rica en anticuerpos, que protege a los cachorros frente a las infecciones. Posteriormente la madre producirá solo leche.
