Question

My pomaranian had 8 puppies.. Is this normal? Can a pomaranian produce enough milk to feed that many puppies? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 11 months old | 7 lbs

That is a larger than average litter size for a Pomeranian. She may not be able to nurse all of them adequately. You will need to monitor their weights closely and supplement with an appropriate puppy milk replacer, such as Esbilac, until they are able to eat on their own. Feed Stella a good quality puppy food until the litter is weaned.
