What happens if a French Bulldog puppy is rejected by its mom?

Question

I am going to buy a French Bulldog puppy this week and the lady who I’m buying her from said the mother rejected her and the other pups at birth and won’t go near them so I was just wondering if and how this will affect the pup growing up and what could it lead to as she hasn’t had her mothers milk or attention/ affection.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Since Ellie had siblings I do not think she will be negatively affected at all. It is singletons (only puppy in litter) that tend to have behavioral and social issues. Ideally all newborns should have colostrum the first milk produced for 24 hours after birth. This milk is rich in antibodies. Many orphaned animals do fine with out any medical issues being bottle raised. I wish you the best!
