Question
hi my nursing mother dog gave birth to six yesterday when i checked her this morning she apparently has the sniffles like a cold have not spoken to my vet as yet what does your experience say in these situations

Answer
I don't think it's anything to worry about. I would just keep an eye on her and watch her temp etc. Make sure she's getting plenty of fluids and extra calcium. As long as she appears to be eating well, and feeling good it's like just from the stress of having all those babies. Labor is hard work!
Congratulations on your new babies
