Puppy updates!
The puppies are 18 days old today and growing steady. I am helping Nada out with feeding them puppymilk so that every puppy has a full belly and stays happy. Since all 13 can't eat at the same time some will not get enough at every feeding so everyone who wants gets some extra puppymilk from me. Some does not like it but many of them do which is great.
Today they also got their first taste of solid food. I mix wet puppyfood with eggyokes, lowfat minced meet and some puppymilk. They all loved it!
In the beginning I feed them once a day with this, a small portion per puppy to get their little tummies used to it. After a few days I go up to twice and day and as they grow I go up to four times a day.
Earlier this week they also had their claws cut for the first time (while they were sleeping so they did no really notice much) aswell was checked for DS (dermoid sinus) again, still clear. It is impossible to check for DS in the tailskin at this early age, no skin to lift so i hope the tails are clear too.
All the puppies are doing very well. They see a little bit more and interact with eachother more now. They get stronger walking on all four and just explore. Soon we will prepare the puppyroom for them where they will move in a little bit.
