What do you set your heating pad temp for? I keep seeing 85 but I feel like the puppies settle better when it’s on 90 but then again I don’t want to overheat them either.

I will have to assume motherly responsibility for 10 puppies that are only a day old. I bought some bottles off Amazon prior and some puppy milk replacer but pups do not like nor will take the nipples I have so far. Any recommendations on how to safely feed them or which nipples would work? I posted earlier about my first time mother dog having very weird and alarming behavior. She was super anxious, restless, and just could not settle down in which she became a danger to the puppies. At the ER she was administered a mild sedative and anxiety meds, given an Xray, and results came back good and no puppy on Xray and was perfectly fine at the vet and on the way home so I figured great she just needed some calm down meds until her hormones regulated. Well she had something else in mind, she ran to her whelping pen and started acting anxious again but more aggressively and then she started biting and trying to attack the puppies, I hurried and grabbed a leash and had to literally pull her away from them and I even feared that she might of bit me in that moment. She’s totally changed like a light switch and I do not recognize her anymore. I was shocked to know her test results were good & the ER vet told me “some dogs just aren’t good mothers” but she’s different and does not seem the same. I was instructed to keep her away from them
Permanently although that will be a struggle in the same house . Besides taking care of pups full time I don’t know what else to do, I’m heartbroken & afraid.

I’m in need of some advice and help. My Labrador had 10 puppies yesterday afternoon first time mom and I’m not sure if her behavior is considered normal. Please help

So my public storage unit was broken into, I arrived to my storage unit to see that my lock was completely gone and they stole some valuable things! I filed a police report, reported it to the employees, and did the insurance claim. The insurance says if I don’t have a picture proof of forced entry then I don’t qualify for compensation. There are no signs of forced entry and they took the lock so I have no proof of a broken lock either. The public storage employee said they’ll review camera and let me know if they see anything or send to my investigator which neither has happened. What else can I do? I’m starting to feel like this was an inside job! I’m paying for insurance monthly for zero security & no real coverage!
