I had to film the puppies - their cuteness was irresistible!
Update: This little tricolor girl is still hanging on, but she’s a slow grower! She reached a week old on Monday. Today she is 1 week and 5 days old and only weighs 3.1oz. She was born at 2.5oz. Most of my dogs have at least doubled their weight by the 2nd week.
Her one eye is starting to open.
This poor baby boy did not make it, despite our efforts to help supplement him. Sometimes the puppies are too early and haven’t developed properly, I believe it had some sort of oxygen issue as well, maybe lungs under developed which didn’t help with feeding. Poor little guy.
We just have her one female left. She’s not losing weight but she’s not gaining either, fluctuates between 2.5 and 2.6oz. She is stronger and has a strong suckle reflex. I’ve shaved Mama down more to help the baby find the milk easier. Let’s hope she makes it 💕
Romeo, Ruby, and Rosalina are 5 weeks old. 💙💕💕
