Ohmygoodness, that little baby is precious. I'm glad you are going to get to be with her through her infancy as she's so young & little. She's cute as a button!
Just keep checking on her as the hypoglycemia protocol suggests & give her the Nutrical or whatever is suggested on your protocol to be assure she doesn't get very low blood sugar if she's lethargic due to that condition. My sister's tiny poodle went down at age 6 months from hypoglycemia, as he was still so tiny even at that age. She lived 5 mins. from vet so they saved him but, boy, it's a problem that can be bad in some dogs; and as you've no doubt read, the very young and/or tiny ones are most likely to get it, which is why even at night you have to check them out and give some Nutrical or something if your dog isn't arousing properly. Sorry!!!!!!! I'm being too scary and I don't mean to do that - just being a nanny and wanting to be sure a new mommy knows what to look for when no doubt you've got all this down pat!!! Forgive me for droning on!!!! No more!
Have you any favorites for names yet? If you are like me, I have a legal pad with a list of names and it can take a few days to find out which one fits the dog itself! Except for Tibbe - he was 9 mos. old when I got him and his name for some reason just came into my head when I saw him - never have named a dog that instantly and weirdly spelled a name before! It's pronounced "Tibby" but for whatever reason that name and funny spelling stuck. And somehow it fits him. Can't wait to hear what her name will be and will you do a long, fancy one or something short & cute or preppy.
