Eight days old & growing !

27/3/2012

 
Thought I better get some photo's up of Millie & her Cavapoo pups who are now just over a week old as they are growing so fast. It was a busy end to last week with my youngest & oldest child having their birthdays a day apart & at the weekend we took advantage of the weather with a walk along the Taw River & a picnic. Last night I went to blog then got bogged down in a mammoth email & then realised it was very late & with an early start this morning waited until now to catch up.
Millie's pups at this stage are growing so quickly & in a few days time we should start to see their eyes opening.
Smudge is booked in on Thursday morning for her 28 day scan & I am pretty confident she is in pups as a distinct string of beads can be felt in her uterus area. From around 21 to 35 days a bead like string can be felt in a pregnant bitch & then the spaces between the beads which are the pups fills & then feels like one solid mass anytime from 28 days onward. It takes experience to feel this & you should not palpatate a bitches uterus unless you know what you are doing because to heavy handed you could cause damage & for the bitch to abort.
So scanning Smudge will be for me to know roughly how many pups she is carrying to aid me in feeding her & preparation & actions taken when she goes into labour.
Lastly Jessica's DNA results have arrived & she is normal for Curly Coat, Dry Eye & Eposodic falling.

Hi Jane,
Thanks so much for the update and the lovely pictures. The pups are all so gorgeous - love their little fat tummies - Millie is obviously doing a very good job feeding them!

Hi Jane
Glad to hear you have had more good news from the DNA tests and also very pleased to hear that you managed to get a bit of relaxation with the family over the weekend.
The pictures of Millie's pups are lovely. Hard to believe that Spencer was that size once.
Look forward to some more good news regarding Smudge
Regards
Trish

Hi Tracey
Thanks for your reply. I will check on the chicken wings with the vet next time we're there. Spencer is doing really well he was 4.6kg a week ago and I can still feel his ribs! We haven't come across any fox poo yet but he is rather partial to a nice muddy ditch in the forest.
Have a wonderful time in Madrid. Thanks to Roxy you won't mind coming home. I look forward to seeing the picture of her in a sombrero!!
Regards
Trish

I have made it look like Spencer has been starved. He was 4.6 at first weigh in. He is now 6.2kg. I am feeding him, honest

Hi Jane,
We can't believe how much the puppies have grown! They are so cute!! They look so cosy and Mille is a great Mum. I am so excited about the scan for Smudge today and really hoping there are 6!
Mum says she hopes you are having time to relax in the garden a bit too!

Hello Hannah,
just got back from the vets with Smudge & you must of crossed your fingers very hard as there are at least 7 maybe 8 little pups wriggling around inside her.
Kind regards Jane
