My husky has had 9 pups today having less teats than pups will I have to bottle feed some of them and will I have to do this through the night they all seem content at the moment should I leave them till morning to see if mum is coping OK before I intervien they were only born today.

Watch them today and note if all seem to be nursing. If you bottle feed, yes, you will have to be on call 24/7. Please read up on newborn puppy care (and ask me how many times a night I got up to feed my own human babies). Puppies and human newborns don't stop eating so mom can sleep.

Our Dogs experts will be along soon to help. Meanwhile, here's a good site --

Yes, they need to eat every 4 hours. There really is no negotiating that...
