~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Misty's pups were born on Friday afternoon (23rd May) over a two hour period. Unfortunately one pup was unwell from birth and it was decided the kindest thing to do was to let our vet give her sleep, she wasn't responding to being hand fed and warmed artificially overnight and was quite distressed, as was Misty. Sadly another puppy passed away in the early hours of Tuesday morning, we think she lay on it. Misty didn't appear to be settled properly and her milk hadn't come down as well as it should, we ended up giving her (on vet's advise) oxytocin - 6 doses, 6 hours apart, during which she passed what looked to have been the remains of a couple of small partly formed pups which must have died earlier in her pregnancy. Misty settled down really well after this and she and her remaing two special little girls are doing well.
Update 9th June ~ Misty's girls are thriving at two weeks, scroll down for photos.
Update late July - Priya (white on chest) is now settled in her new home along with Sachin (Black boy from Dazzle & Blaki's litter) we wish them both many years of love and happiness with human mum and dad Darcy and Craig.







Misty and 3 pups at 2 days old

These photos were taken at 2 days old, all 3 pups were nursing well and seemed healthy - sadly the puppy on the right with
little bit of white on her chest passed away in the early hours of Tuesday morning, we think Misty must have lay on her.

(Misty had been scratching up the puppy bedding, so I removed it as a precaution untill
she settled, so her pups wouldn't get trapped under it (the whelping box is heated)
