Delivered 4 beautiful pups today. 1 cocoa brown female and another cocoa brown mail, a black male and an apricot male. Surprised because mom is cream colored and dad is gray. Mom did great and is a wonderful mom. I'm a little concerned because the first has a stump of a tail, triangular in shape but seems to have no problem with movement of the back legs. The next one has a little right angle at the tip but also moves well. He's the runt at 5 ounces and had trouble figuring out how to nurse but with a little help is now doing great. I'll have the vet check out everything on thursday when we go to get the dewclaws and tails done. Mom is finally eating. I had given her 1/2 a can of RC mother/baby mousse after the 2n'd puppy and after the 4th. A few hours after I was feeding her small amounts and was scooping it out and she just took it from the spoon. Guess she was tired of waiting. |
