Oh, I am so glad to hear that your wait is over! How sad that such a healthy boy did not make it through the whelp, but the remaining little girls will bring you and Chloe much comfort (as well as worrying over every little thing) in the days & weeks ahead. Mardelin's advice on how to assist the pups is great advice; once they learn to latch on well, they tend not to forget how and things should go well from then on. It sounds like Chloe is doing well and her mothering instincts are kicking in. I am anxious to see your pictures; CONGRATULATIONS to both of you.
P.S. Hearing of your 7oz boy makes me that much more thankful that all went well with Halle's whelp of her 6 1/2 -6 3/4 oz. boy. I count my blessings that she had no difficulties and truly feel like a lucky lady. |
