On May 1st, I plan to separate Fiona from her puppies.  Tomorrow should be a sunny day.  I am going to take a picture of the puppies on my outside swing.  Usually, when I do this, it startles the puppies long enough for me to get some pictures before they start moving around.  They are getting their Panacur deworming.

I took Lady Greer to the vet yesterday a long with her puppies for their dew claw removal.  Lady Greer is very thin, and it alarmed me.  I thought the puppies were not getting the milk from her.  The mammary glands as it turned out were full of milk.  The vet did bloodwork and an ultrasound on Lady Greer.  The vet was concerned about calcium deficiency.  She was given a calcium shot along with fluids for dehydration.  I gave her the second calcium shot this morning, and she will get her third on Friday.  She is also taking a medicine for appetite enhancement.  She is thriving on whole milk cottage cheese and chicken.  She does not like the rice.  I was up all through the night last night to monitor her and feed her.  Stools are solid.  She is nursing the puppies well.  She just isn’t eating much of the dry food.  I will put Velcro collars on her puppies tomorrow.

I am working hard to keep all these puppies safe and well.

I have a red brindle male and a wheaten male available from Henry and Lady Greer.
