A newborn puppy is showing abnormal behavior such as laying with its mouth open, pulling at its mother's nipple while nursing, and whining a lot, which it didn't do before. The mother is also whining and showing concern for the puppy. The puppy's rectal temperature is 100°F and it has been laying on its side a lot. The mother's back teats feel warmer than the others, and five out of eight are producing milk. What could be the issue and what should be done?
