The pups are a little over 4 weeks old and as you can see keeping me very busy. The biggest is almost 2 pounds and the littlest is 1 pound 8.5 oz. Work and home are the only places I go except for weekly trip to the food store. They are all adorable. I am keeping 1 female for myself and my mom is taking 1 male. They are starting to eat solid foods. Cozy is such a good mom. She was go good she got a bladder infection the first week she had them because she would not leave them to go to the bathroom. I would carry her outside and she would "pee" for two seconds and then wanted to go right back inside. Now this week she has mastasis, still producing milk that her babies are not eating. All I know is her nipples are black and blue--Those babies are violent eaters. Will try and keep you updated but with no home computer it is hard and I currently have no time to buy a new one. |
Congratulation on your new puppies. I am sorry to hear the mom is have a hard time. I hope you have her on antibiotics for the mastitis, I have had many litters and their nipples should not be black and blue unless there is a problem. Have you started the pups on solid food? If you have not then it is time to because mom needs a break if her nipples are black and blue. I recommend you get a good quality dry puppy food and put it in a blender and grind it until it is very fine like corn meal. You can leave a small bowl of this down and some water and the puppies should start eating on their own and that will not put but such a demand on the momma. Best of luck.
