I have a german shepard that had pups two weeks ago, and she stopped feeding her pups, what do I do? I've never been through this and I am afraid for the pups. So if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thank you:confused:

First of all, welcome to the board! :)

I'm not an expert on dogs, but I thought I'd let you know that there is a Pets & Animals forum here, and you might get more responses if you posted this question in there rather than in introductions. Here's a direct link:

Good luck!

Very good orange. Unfortunately I won't be much help and wouldn't count others here. I miss all the good people we once had on the original AskMe.com.

Now about the puppies. Could be a physical problem with the mother. Best call the vet in the morning. Likely too late to catch a Petsmart etc. open tonight to buy milk replacement. Cows milk isn't good for puppies. I don't know if an all night drug store would have a lactose free infants formula or not. Maybe a soup of what ever the mother has been eating would do. Just stir it into water. Stick your finger into it and then into their mouth. Get a little of anything digestible into them tonight, and tomorrow the vet and dog milk replacement from the pet store or whatever the vet says.
