My 9-month dog had puppies, no space, and she won't eat. Help!

Question

My dog is 9 months old. Just had a 9-puppy litter. She has been an indoor/outdoor dog but there's no place inside for her and puppies. Can't get her in the doghouse. She won't leave my side. Takes care of pups as much as she can. All healthy. Won't eat very good. Very healthy. I get unfeeling e her and babies around me but it's just not feasible. Any advice? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 15 days old | 85 lbs

If you cannot bring the puppies inside, I would suggest that you take them to an animal shelter. They need their mom for more than just food. They need her warmth and comfort, too, in order to have healthy psychological growth. Arya was too young, at nine months of age, to have a litter, and her maternal instincts have not kicked in yet. Somehow, you'll have to provide for these puppies what she is not willing to.
