Recovering, worming & coloured collars on !

20/11/2011

 
Finally got to blog. Been abit of a funny week. My Mum is slowly recovering & thanks for all the kind messages. She is still in hospital & no real date to when she will be home but she is getting better.
 I have managed to do the first worming for Dolly's & Ysabel's Cavapoo pups. I worm at 2 weeks, 3 weeks & 8 weeks. I use Panacur 10% Liquid wormer & I find it an effective wormer. I also wormed all adult dogs with their ever three month wormer. The adults I use Cestem which I found through the internet & my vet checked out & said its the same as Drontal but a lot cheaper & said to get it as they could not match on price.
I buy all my wormers, flea, ear cleanser products on the internet as I am afraid I can not afford to pay the vets mark up prices which in some cases can be 100%. I understand they have to earn a living but do feel that marking up medicines like they do is wrong. Mind you waiting rooms in vets surgerys are more plush than most doctors surgerys & the money for this has to come from somewhere.
Nearly went of on a rant there but to tired so will stop here.
We have now moved in the crates & removed the whelping boxes as one is needed for Lucy in a couple weeks & it gives them more room. I normally do this around 4 to 5 weeks but as Dolly had a big litter & Lucy needs a whelping box to get accustomed to we have done it a little earlier. They all seem happy with their new homes & Dolly's pups are getting very active & even finding the food bowl & having a nibble. We feed Mums & start pups on Royal Canin Starter which is a complete food & is a very small kibble & even at this age they can masticate it & eat it. Around 4 weeks is when we start to feed in earnest & Mum will start to self wean them as they start to eat more they will lessen the stress on her.
We also had delivery of my puppy coloured collars so identification is made easier. These are little velcro collars that you check each day releasing as they grow. They do two things which is make identification easier & make your puppy collar tolerant before you have them as puppies at 8 weeks can sometimes get distressed when a collar is first put on them but using these from such an early stage will make them happy to except wearing a collar. Below I will list sex, colour of pup & collar colour for each litter above the photo's for each litter.

Dawn, I have slightly changed the colours I told you as Biege & White looked the same colour in photo's so changed Biege to Blue.
Lastly tonight a lovely photo of Mum to be Lucy who is now around 6 & a half weeks pregnant. Just one of those lucky photo's were you just capture them & yes my husband was eating hence the adoring look on her face hoping for a little bit.

Hello Jane,

We are so pleased to hear that your mum is feeling better & hope very much that she is home with you all very soon. Love the pics puppies look like they are coming on a real treat, this is such a lovely time for everyone to be able to watch their pups growing. Just takes me right back to that very special time when we were waiting for Roxy, where does that time go! Lovely photo of Lucy you caught this shot just at the right time, even though she was watching David eat lol. Something really nice when you capture a side profile. Hope that you & the rest of the gang are keeping well take care.

Best Wishes

Tracey xx

Jane, you are amazing. Sorry to hear Mum is not home yet, hope she will be back soon and well.

The pups look so chubby and sweet, I can now follow all the golden girls and look forward to our visit.

I would never have known food was around for you to get such a super snap of Lucy. Having had two Cavaliers I know that look exactly. I wonder if Cavapoos are SO food orientated. Look after yourself Jane.

Regards
Margaret

They look unbelievably cute with their collars! Timing of your blog is brilliant for getting my two teenage girls out of bed on Monday mornings. Shouting "More puppy pics on Jane's blog!" works better than anything else I've tried.
Hope your Mum is making progress Jane.

Hello Jane,
You are amazing, I don't know how you manage it all, with puppies, children and your Mother being ill. The puppies look so sweet with their little coloured collars, they are little beauties.
Thank you for the up dates, take care.
Kind regards
Glenda

That's where Bailey get's that adoring look from!! His Mum! He also does it when food is around. Mind you this makes training easier as he will do almost anything for a treat. Hope your Mum getting better soon.
