Oh Marsha, I understand completely what you are going through. Please, I know you feel it is your fault that you should have separated her true but please don't live with this guilt. I know from experience that you just can't. Maybe some day I can explain further but am crying for you. I will pray that you will forgive yourself and that Dinah will stay healthy.

Ginger is an alpha female and has never liked Dinah to begin with. But Ginger is also very maternalistic and becomes aggressive when there are pups around or pups due...she thinks all the pups should be hers and she will protect them even from their own momma....I think she sensed Dinah with pups...scented hormonal changes, ect...and her maternal insticts kicked in. But bottom line, I am at fault. I should have already spearated Dinah from everyone else. I had even just told my mom the day before that I needed to get the x-pen set up and get Dinah in it...so bottom line, it is my fault.... Marsha > I am sadden to hear that Dinah lost her pup.
