hallswel Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Sugar is cleaning her girls They are peeping so all that is left is for her to help them to dinner without my assistance. Not for weeks will I feel comfortable...this has scared me to death! But Sugar knows now she has babies so I feel much better.

hallswel Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Yes Sugar should be able to have another litter hopefully many more. Since there was nothing visiblly wrong she just stopped whelp and her temp went back up. The pups were 63 days and we could wait and see if she would have them but three days with a 2+ temp drop, not eating then everything going back to normal I had to decide what to do.The ulta sound showed fully developed viable pups. So I opped on C-Section. Next time hopefully she can do it all herself. The others are doing fine. While Sugar was nesting and circling and digging Hamm would sit at the gate in the Sunroom and cry. Harley is just curious and Rebel just quitely watches from the other room. No one is allowed near the whelping pen/nursery.

Tracy A. Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I am so glad to hear that Liz! So now the question everyone is wondering, but hasn't ask.... What are you calling your little girls? and are you keeping one? Tracy, Amos, Walter, Brattwrust & Mettwurst a.k.a The Gremlins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallswel Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Lost one of the girls. She had slowed down on eating and I was watching her closley. I am not sure what happened. Sugar woke up frantic and I took the puppy out and she was gone. I think I knew she had some problems but had been successful getting her to eat until today. I am glad we had her and will miss her very much. Please keep Sugar and the remaining pup in your prayers.

Cairnmania Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 So sorry to hear about the pup. Nature has a way of taking those early that would otherwise not have had a healthy life. Your experience with Sugar points out that the decision to breed cannot be taken lightly and that heartache comes with the joy. I hope all is well from now on - but the most important thing is that Sugar herself is recovering nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubyruby Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 What a roller coaster of emotions you must be going through. So very sorry about the little one, how sad you must be - I know I am, and I'm only reading about it! Very glad to hear that Sugar is improving and her baby is doing well. Keep the pictures coming.

hallswel Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sugar's peep as I call her is keeping Sugar busy. I am taking it one day at a time. I knew going into breeding there would be disappointment and sadness. Sugar is being very picky about what she wants to eat so I have been cooking for her, something I thought I would never do. Sugar goes back for a checkup on Monday, hopefully by then she will be her old self. I think the hardest part has been her searching for her baby. I now have to figure out what to do about the peep's nails. They are growing so fast and need to be trimmed but they are so tiny. Thanks for all your kind words and thoughts. I will keep you posted on Sugar and her peep. Liz Liz Rebel, Hammurabi, Sugar, Dirty Harry, Paint, Duncan and Saffron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradl Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I now have to figure out what to do about the peep's nails. They are growing so fast and need to be trimmed but they are so tiny. One approach: Pick up an infant-sized nail clipper in the baby section at the drugstore. Slide one side of its jaw along the nail until it catches on the little hook at the end of the nail, then clip that little tiny bit off. CAIRNTALK: Questions?

TNA Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Oh Liz. Tears filled my eyes as I read about the young pup. Then about Sugar looking for her. I can't barely see the screen. I'm so sorry for you and Sugar's loss. We will keep you all in our prayers. Ang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
