Early Weened Puppies

I have now seen for the first time in my life weened puppies at the age of 1 week. Essentially speaking, the puppies were too strong and killing the mother, so on, so forth, and they came from a 6 pound mom. So that’s really bad. They shouldn’t be weened till a later time anyway. But apparently, it was really bad. These little babies were eating out of a bottle, being taken care of by people. We did that with my sister’s rabbit’s babies as a kid, but only because she pretty much tried to kill them all. My sister just has some kind of crazy effect on animals I’ve never understood. But with these little puppies, it was sad, especially the first 5 weeks or so. They had to wait until she dried up so they wouldn’t really nurse or anything. But every time they were being fed, you would hear her crying in the other room. She would literally try to get to them every chance she got, some kind of motherly instinct. And it didn’t die down. She went on for 5 weeks, even after her milk had dried up, trying to get to these babies, clean them up, nurse them, take care of them at all times. After 5 weeks were up and they were about 6 weeks old, they were apparently at an age where she started playing with them, they stopped trying to nurse, and everything was all good. But up until that point, she literally cried. Sad things. I have to wonder if she would’ve had the same kind of reaction had she gone through a false pregnancy.
