Can you take pictures of them? Do you let the momma stimulate them at all? Does the pup act like the tail is hurting him?

I took a good look at the tails, and the hair on the bottom is actually growing back a bit. It used to look bald, and now it looks fuzzy.

I took a picture, but it since the bottom isn't raw anymore, the only part to see is the end, which is kind of scabby, but that doesn't show in the picture.

The band-aid fell of the little boy, and I watched mama closely to see what she would do. Straight to the tail she went! It won't be a big deal when they're all healed, but for now, it just won't work.

I am thinking of giving mama some goat milk tomorrow. Maybe it will help loosen things for the babies???
