 Trip to the vet!
We had our first trip to the vet and all went well. Doc gave mama a shot of Oxytosin to clean out all the junk. He also gave her a shot of Baytril, antibiodic, just to be safe. He noticed that one of the pups had no cord left on their belly button so he gave me some Betadine to clean it with a few times a day. I hope this doesn't cause any problems for the pup.
Other than that, all went well.
My stepdad will do the dew claws and tails Friday night. So they will be close to 4 days old.
Mama wants to get away from her pups for a little bit and come lay with me. I keep puttin her back with them so she can nurse. How long is ok for her to be gone from them these first couple of days? I know she needs a break! She's such a good mommy already, I'm sure she won't be with me long before worrying about them.
I have some pictures but when I try to upload, it tells me that the files are too large. I'll post some when I figure it out!
Thanks everyone for all of your help! |
