Lela's puppies


Sunday24th April.

Lela joins her grandma Ruby in the super league of mums, she is the most serene bitch and this is conveyed to her puppies as they rarely make a sound. She has been very stubborn about going out to the toilet as she does not want to leave her puppies for a minute. Trying to persuade her to go out this morning in the rain was difficult enough and she only did a wee so I will have to try again later and insist she do what she has to do.

She retained a couple of placentas during the deliveries so yesterday I gave her 1ml of oxytocin and she very quickly passed a huge placenta. She is still discharging so I will have to keep an eye on her temperature as this could be a source of infection.

Checks on the puppies for sinus were clear and I will weigh them this afternoon.
