She has done much better today. Her front legs work perfectly. Today she took about 10 steps using her back legs correctly - then fell down. With the mom's first litter, the boy was huge also. He topped out at 4 lbs 6 oz. I don't know why she has such big puppies. If things keep going like today, I think she will be fine. I have never had a single puppy - she is getting sooooo much attention. I am retired and give her all my attention - and worries also.

I am trying to think back...(been a ROUGH day at work and my mind is short circuited from testing all day)....I dont think 3 week old babies are standing normally and walking around....seems they are trying to do so, but are still kind of just pushing around on their bellies....so maybe she is still just too young to be up on her legs and she is just doing what babies 1/4 her size would be doing! It is just looking more pronounced because of her size! Precious little angel! Please, give us a picture! |
