Matty ate her first food today. I used canned and added water to it. She seems to like it pretty well. She didn't eat much for her first time but I think that makes sense. She too is walking pretty well. I had to clip her nails the other day because she was sticking to everything. She's getting to be a real little person!
I never used the heating pad, my room is the warmest in the house and I figured since no air circulates thru my closet it should be warm enough, but I keep an eye on her just to be safe. She's begun barking and growling. This morning she was even howling. Lady was in with her so at first I just thot maybe they were playing. She howled again a little later and I picked her up and thot she looked a little thinner than she has been and decided to give her some real food.
It's been so long since I had puppies that I can't remember how the mom's acted. But I think if the babies are to be weened at around 6weeks then at 3 weeks things should start to slow down. Boy, it seems way, way too soon. Lady doesn't seem to have as much milk as I think she should have for one baby. But if weening time is getting near that makes sense too. Sylvia |
