Edy got her meds this morning and the little girl and 1 boy got a feeding . The boy just did not gain enough weight yesterday so I am going to help him out a bit .

Everyone is still holding their own . I am still supplementing the little girl , she is just not big enough to fight for a nipple .

Edy is dong much better you can tell she is back to her normal self , she wanted to run in the yard , good thing she was on a leash still .

Weighed everyone for the night and everyone is gaining , little girl & boy gained but not much so I
gave them both a supplemental feeding .

Little boy seems to have a bit of colic . His belly is bloated and he is crying
I held him and rubbed his belly and he settled down .

Today you can see how the puppies are trying to push up on their front legs . They are really scooting around fast now

I did not get much sleep worrying about green boy and his bout of colic . Every peep I was checking to see who it was and if they were o.k.

Saw the first glimmer of eyes opening today .

Found out one of my friend lost a 10 day old puppy in her own litter . I makes you realize just how fragile they are and how easy it is to lose them .

Weighed everyone and they are all gaining , some more than expected .
Gave the 2 smallest their 3 supplemental feeding during the day.

Aug 7th
Last day of meds for Edy .

Pink girl vomited the afternoon , then she started with diarrhea . I think it is because of overeating . I have given her and some of the other big eaters some maalox to help firm up the stools , I hope it works quickly as she did not gain any weight today .
Called the vet , he wants me to give the Maalox and to
giving her sugar water by syringe every hour so she stays hydrated and help keep her calorie intake up .
If there is no improvement by morning then she will be off to the vets .

Some of the puppies are trying to push up on all 4 legs and walk . They are not getting too far but it is good to see the progress.

I gave the 2 smallest their 3 feeding during the day .

Weighed everyone , some are gaining a lot 80 grams a day .
Some of the other puppies are getting loose stools tonight .
I may have to keep Edy out of the whelping box for short periods of time so they can not overfeed .
