Our 7 year old pug gave birth today for the first time. She gave birth to 4 puppies. One of the four puppies was left alone and we took the puppy with a towel and kept it warm. The puppy started moving and barking. We decided to place it back with the rest of the puppies and our pug ate the puppy completely while it still was alive. We are very concerned about what just happened. Is this normal behavior? Did she detected that he puppy was sick? Was the puppy a threat to the other 3 puppies and for this reason she ate the puppy? Please let us know your opinion on this matter. We are still uncomfortable with the situation. p.s. The other 3 puppies look fine and are being taken care of properly by their mother.
