Things have not been going well around here lately. Yesterday Lizzy gave us a big scare she started shaking and sweating. At first we thought she was having a low blood sugar attack, as these small dogs need to eat to keep up their sugar levels and with the puppies we worried she was not eating enough. A trip to the Vet showed her calcium levels had dropped.
They gave her an IV and she came home an hour later looking very good and running around. But now the puppies need to be bottle feed so Liz does not have another episode. The little girl who has been using a bottle and nursing took to it good, she is so tiny, the others are doing better today. Willona feeds them every 2 hours with 5 puppies she says it takes 45 minutes to feed them all. She lets Liz in with them after to clean them up and cuddle with them. Liz gets very angry when she is separated from the puppies and they are feed and she barks the whole time.
During the day Willona gets the kids the help and it goes much faster but a night it is all up to her.
Baby Josiah had his shots yesterday also so he is fussy and wants Mom all the time. I am sure by the end of a week Willona will be very tired.
I will try to get photo's of the puppies soon.
