Title: Whew, A Long Day for Rey... and Us
Post by: lokidog on May 09, 2020, 04:36:35 PM: Ten puppies on the ground. Five boys and five girls. The fifth puppy had a close call, very small and not breathing, but could see it had a heartbeat... a little mouth to snout and a lot of massaging had it crying and wriggling after about a half hour though.

Sorry for anyone interested, all have homes. ;)

Thanks, likely this first night will be the deal breaker if it happens. He is suckling and moving around well, so fingers crossed that he is fine.

Here is a shot of the girls from yesterday.

Post by: lokidog on May 12, 2020, 10:35:30 AM: Turns out it was only a tablespoon, but got two more in yesterday. He has gone from 7 to 8 ounces now. Five of them gained an ounce and a half yesterday to today.

He looks like a squirrel or a bat.... :chuckle:
