New babies! 3 Attachment(s) Just wanted to share that my Isabella and Chewbacca have welcomed their puppies early this morning! 3 girls and 1 big boy! Momma and babies are doing great and our vet has been updated! |
Congratulations, beautiful momma and a handsome Dad, now precious babies. |
Thank you! Now I'm just trying my best to keep everyone healthy. Vet visit tomorrow |
GREAT babies will see vet. Please let us know how that visit goes. |
Will do! It's crazy we went to the vet yesterday morning because I thought labor should've started and it hadn't. I was taking her temp right after coming in from outside so I thought her temp was low and no signs of active labor. Vet said everything was all good, temp was normal, and it would be a couple more days before she had them. HA! about 12 hours after leaving the vet and the first puppy was here. I can be paranoid, but I'd rather be on the safer side for the sake of my babies. |
Congratulations! We're looking forward to more pictures as they grow. |
Beautiful. Is one of them tiny? |
Yes she is. She's the second born with the green on. She only weighed 2 ozs and is now up to 2.5. I keep checking to make sure she's eating and not being pushed out the way. Vet visit went great, says everyone looks good and runt looks small because she's small, not that something is wrong with her which is really great. She will be staying with us! Their tales were docked and dew claws removed as well |
Great news, thank you for the update. |
How exciting!! Congratulation, can't wait to see more pics! |

Awww precious babies and such a good momma. Thank you for sharing. |
Ok I'm going crazy at the moment with my tiny girl in yhe green band seen in yhe video. I'm just so nervous that she may not be doing all that well. Vet said yesterday everyone looked great, she looks like she's eating great, but she hasn't gained anymore weight. She was 2.5ozs at birth, dropped down to 2.0 by the end of the night, then went up to 2.2 yesterday morning and is still there now as I've just checked. Everyone else lost weight by the end of the first night then gained it back. Last night they all put on about .1 Oz and then this morning only my big boy has put on .2 ozs. I feel I could just be paranoid but I'm so nervous and don't want to lose any of them, especially her. Vet just called to check on them as they had tails and claws done, I missed the call and called right back but they're closed. I will Def be calling back in the morning though |
What beautiful little babies. I'm so glad you have a watchful eye. I think .2 oz per day is typical but I have often read that two or three days a week (not successive days) may not record a weight gain and that if there is not weight loss it is not typically a cause for concern as long as weight gain returns within two days. Are you weighing twice a day? If there were additional weight loss or further signs of failure to thrive (like being rejected from the pile, minimal movement) I would want to tube feed a supplemental feeding- they say clear pedialyte mixed with puppy formula, so they can keep their energies up to keep up with the big dogs nursing. Remember to never tube feed a cold baby as they need to keep their temperature regulated for their gi system to function. I used to have some goats that needed a lot of support on their journey to motherhood, I found that nutri drench in the babies before we began the couple of hours holed up on the birthing pen together getting mama to nurse them was the best way to keep them going until mommy goat and baby goats 'figured it out'. Good luck with your babies! |
Thank you s much for replying. Yes they are weighed twice a day and I picked up some goats milk earlier today. I saw a recipe from Yorkiemom1 to try so I'll go and get the remaining ingredients for that tomorrow morning. She doesn't seem to move around as much as the others but she does definitely move and she isn't being rejected. She seems like she's feeding fine but I just can't be sure. I have attempted formula earlier with a dropper and that was fine too but it seemed like she could also tell it wasn't the good stuff. My husband thinks it could've been because she was just nursing longer than what I saw and may not have been hungry anymore. I will continue to watch and do what I can! |
