i have blocked under the bed off and if it happens again will bring the puppy pen up and put the box inside so she cant move them, i slept for about 2 hours last night, so do watch her almost 24/7.
think it was the box/ room was too warm, i have tried to cool the room down today and the lovely weather (which i have missed lol) is set to leave and cooler from tomorrow, so we'll see.
i have posted some pics of the babies if anyone wants to see them, i am totally biased they are lush! lol  |
I am glad she have settled with the babies, it is a worry isnt it. As long as she is eating the food you are giving her she will be fine, but try to get her to eat puppy food as it have all the nourishment in it and you wont need supplements. No you wont have much sleep at the moment, but better to be safe than sorry. I am a light sleeper anyway so any noise and I am up like a bolt lolol. Will go and look at your babies now, if your anything like me...when they go to their new homes you will have tears in your eyes, I cried when mine went as you do get attatched to them. When they are around 3 weeks old keep an eye on her tummy to see if she will have any scratches from them paddling to get milk, I had to cut JUST the tips of our babies nails off as they were starting to make little red marks on Teigans belly. baby scissors are good and if you do have to do it then ONLY take a very very tiny peice off the ends, dont go too much or you will nick the quick (blood vessel). Good luck with the babies and mum. xxxxx
My little chi's are now 4 weeks old tomorrow.  |
