so good to know that it's normal. I tend to worry too much. right now we've got them in a series of boxes. the sleeping area, the feeding/poop area (which they haven't quite gotten used to), and then it opens into a large box/play area that's about 3x3. I will definitely look into a playpen.
do you still keep a heating pad going during this phase? no ground up kibble, or kibble paste, or kibble with formula? got the water thing going. I've been supplementing at night with about 1 ounce of formula split between the 4 pups. they are now drinking it out of a shallow pet dish. (mom drinks about 1 ounce after they've had theirs).
I trimmed their nails and even did a quick file with the emory board, but will definitely take another look at them. perhaps I didn't cut enough. thank you so much. I really appreciate the advice. |
