Ruby's Puppies

Monday 16th Of July.

Saturday and into Sunday was quite difficult for Ruby. The effects of oxytocin amongst other things is to contract the uterus down and I know from my own "after pains" after childbirth, It can be very painful. My experience with Kasidi and Ruby is It makes them pant and so gives the impression that another puppy is about to be born. This is a little disconcerting and certainly uncomfortable for the dog but I am pleased to say that these effects have now passed and Ruby seems to be doing very well. I am monitoring her temperature daily for signs of infection.

All puppies were checked for dermoid sinus.

We weighed the puppies this morning and all had gained weight, some more than others.

Beckham had gained 2oz making him 1lb 8oz.

Venus had gained 1oz making her 1lb.2oz.

Posh had gained 2oz making hr 1lb. 4oz.
