Princess is doing well. We allow her to nurse the puppies at night which amounts to about two sessions now and the rest of the time we are feeding them. She's on a calcium supplement twice a day and I blend this into ricotta cheese or full fat cottage cheese plus she eats some of the formula being fed to the puppies so that includes goats milk and yogurt plus everything else we feed her!
The puppies are so fat and glossy and active they are 14 days old today.
We keep an eye on Princess constantly for any sign of relapse and we keep her away from the puppies unless she is wearing her tube top I made unless it is her turn to feed and even when we do allow her to nurse it is only for a couple of minutes per puppy, just to keep her involved.
She is very content to let us take care of them although she is determined to bathe them and groom them and continue the piddle and pooh duties which is fine by me!
I figure each day the get close to being weaned is a good thing! Meanwhile as my husband does the bulk of the feeding I am learning there is not much chance he will give up any of the puppies  what oh what am I going to do with 8 dogs! |
I guess you will just have to join the rest of us who can't stop at one or two!
I'm so happy to hear that she is doing well and that the puppies are happy and healthy. Congratulations and enjoy your new babies!
