So I'm following the book on to weaning the pups from their mother I already loose previous female due to massits my ignorance so I went back to my bible and now I stared weaning the mom from her pups @ 4 weeks due to we had a tropical storm and I'm following everything from the book to a T but looking @ the mother see her tits starting to get hard with milk like my other female did what do I do I can't loose her I lost her littermate sister to massits I can't loose her. WHAT TO DO?
What drug are you using for mastitis?
I mention 3 possibilities: cephalexin, clavamox, and TMZ ... so I need to know which one you're using ... plus the amount ... plus the weight of the mother.

None I didn't thought I need any drugs if I followed you directions what should I use the female is 40-42lbs on the chain ill weigh her in the AM @ work now won't be off till morning I put the pups back with the mom but the are all bathed and kennels are clean
If you didn't give drugs, then you did not follow the directions on how to prep a bitch for mastitis at all.
Read Chapter 10 "Animal Husbandry & Raising Pups," and you will see I clearly recommend the use of 3 drugs (in a 3-step process) for bitches who have mastitis.

Ok its in the black book
The Black Book has the same information, in Chapter 13 "Breeding Dogs & Raising Pups."
Look at p. 266 and the instructions are clearly there.
Good luck.
