My little girl just had her first babies on day 60 from first time I saw them tie. I thought her personality changed right away, and she threw up on my son's bed at about 1 week. At five weeks she looked like she swallowed a football. She had five, delivered them all herself and did a beautiful job. She is a great mother. I watched her carefully the entire time, she always seemed healthy and fine. Same now. If you have the male, that was our biggest problem - at about week6 they started fighting and we have had to completely separate them. The babies will be one week tomorrow and she started playing with her brother yesterday (as long as he is not in our room.) She doesn't let any cats or Bronx in there. She is letting any human come to see the puppies, she jumps up and down and smiles really big. She is getting back to her old self and it is wonderful. Good luck to you and little Jessy. I also started giving her puppy food, and about 5 weeks, a tablespoon of cottage cheese and 3 tablespoons of goats milk (replacement puppy milk). She still seems a little thin. |
