The way you described holding is correct. Just pat and rub their backs lightly with your fingers...they'll burp. |
Ok I think I have it. Can I reuse the 3cc syringes or new ones every time? I also have a box of 5 cc's that have tips I think the nipples will fit that we can no longer use at my work I will use those later in next week.
I am leaving work early today and will be off tomorrow. I dont think I am ready to be away from Bella or the puppies all day just yet!!
I never would have thought I personally would feel so protective of Bella and the pups. It is not that I think Josh my son or Shaun my bf cannot handle the situation becaue they are great but I am having anxiety not seeing for myself and wondering how it is going, how everyone is doing, why Bella was trying to get under the bed (Bellas favorite place is under our bed) etc etc etc....If I ever do this again with a different dog I think I will just take a couple weeks off for my peace of mind.
