This is very true many times people leave the pups on for too long and do not properly dry up the bitch so they will sag. This is done after the pups are born not now when it has been months since they were nursing. This is done when the pups are weaned, I wean my dogs early like at 4 weeks so avoid this. Also my bitches are done with puppies by then anyway and will get aggressive with them.Ok. Doesn't anyone know about "drawing" up the dog? It can be done easily and without alot of ado actually. We do it as follows.
Whether it is winter or summer, let the dog drink until she raises her head in the morning and then pull her water till night time. Again, let her drink until she lifts her head, pull the water.
Rub Campho-Phenique on her boobs. Let it dry. Once in the am and once in the pm. (some people use Vicks Vapor Rub)
Feed her once a day and exercise yes but not overly. Remember she is not drinking at will. Don't wait too long before you start. Pull the pups and start drying her up.
Some dogs just never really bounce back after having puppies despite your best efforts.
