I sent a frantic post in mid March on a C-Section preemie litter of 8 in
which 4 had died within 24 to 36 hours. The mother had been
immediately put on medications which prevented her from being with the
puppies at all. The puppies were a week premature. They had
to be taken because of the pressure on the dam's diaphragm. They
were killing her. There were 4 puppies left
and all they had was me. After more than four weeks of never
seeing my bed and approximately 2-3 hours total sleep per day, I am
happy to announce that the 4 remaining puppies are alive and well.
They are 10 weeks old today. These puppies never once had the pleasure
of snuggling or nursing a mom. Two puppies have gone to their new
homes. I am attaching pictures of the two
puppies that I will be *watching* for awhile. This picture is A
Salt & Pepper Female. I will send a pic of the Black Male
separately.
