Sunshine's Puppy Tales
August 1st - The puppies are busy playing, growing and eating! They are eating wet food with formula 3 times a day now. They have started on dry food and have that to snack on in between meals. They will slowly be transitioned to dry food only over the next few weeks.
July 26th -Sweet Sunshine got sick with mastitis on Tuesday. So happy that she is feeling much better.
Sea Biscuit was not interested in the puppy food. He was not feeling well. Heaven took him in and is caring for him just like her others. He is doing great.
The puppies are eating some formula with their puppy food to help make up for missing mom. They are some hungry puppies! Here is a video of the hungry little ones.
July 20th -Sunshine's puppies are 3 weeks old today. Their ears and eyes are open. They have started walking. These are pretty quiet puppies. Mom does an amazing job of feeding them. Here is a video of Sunshine nursing her pile of puppies. The puppies have been dewormed once with Panacur. They will be dewormed several more times before going home. Hard to believe visits start next weekend for these little ones.
Food started today. This will help mom get a bit of a break once they are really interested in puppy food. Likely by the end of the week. We will offer food twice a day. They are eating Purina Pro Plan High Protein Chicken and Rice Formula Large Breed Dry Puppy Food. We soak the food in water and warm it until is is a mush. They will eat this food for a few weeks. We will slowly transition them to dry food. Here is a video of them eating their first meal of puppy food.
June 29th - Sunshine had a normal first pregnancy up until last week. It all made sense after the c-section revealed 17 puppies. Sadly 4 puppies did not make it. She and the 13 puppies are doing well. She is proving to be a wonderful first-time mom. Proud of you Sunshine!
