: I have a friend who's a terrier owner. His fox terrier, Vicky has just given birth to 4 healthy pups. But my friend has no ideea how to raise them in these first few days. Please help us with any piece of advice that you can give. Thank you.

Hi Vlad,
I suggest that your friend call his vet and the tails and dewclaws should be removed within 5 days after birth. Other than that the bitch will do all the raising but it is best to get her checked by the Vet after whelping.
