SBT101 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Congratulations Lyndsay and Missymoo on your new additions. They are gorgeous. I've pretty much been in bed all day, bloody tooth is driving me barmy And now I have this almighty lump come up on my jaw and I dont know whether it is a good thing or not Just hope the infection hasn't gotton into my jaw bone.... Oh, Kimba is still going strong. Had a good talk to my vet today and after Kimba's last whelping experience, have decided as soon as her temp drops, will take her in to vets and we can go from there. Vet is happy for me to bring her in so we can watch her there and then if she has trouble, vets are right there to help or do a c-section if need be...

That doesn't sound good SBT - can you get in to a dentist sooner? If not, there is alway emergency - don't much around with a tooth infection if you are worried, all sorts of nasty complications can crop up and you won't have time to be sick!!

Missymoo Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 so my smallest baby (last pup) has been steadily loosing weight and i am now getting worried, went and got a bottle and some goats milk after searching and reading old posts here on DOL..turns out he wont take a bottle but he will suck from an eye dropper..i will now top him up hourly? I took them in today to get dew claws done and spoke to vet, asked about tube feeding..he is very old fashioned and just told me to pull off a fat one and plop pup on..well thats easier said then done... am not confidant to tube feed but will watch a few you tubes and see how this eye dropper works and if he will put on SOME weight. He drank almost 2.5 mls last eye drop feed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get a strong sucker to start a back teat and then after a few minutes when the milk is flowing pull him off and attach the weaker pup. After all getting his mums milk down will be the best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Missymoo I can come over tomorrow and show you how to tube feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Missymoo I can come over tomorrow and show you how to tube feed. Tube feeding is like free calories - They don't have to work at it. :D If you need to pick stuff up on your way through Jan just let me know. I also have the premmie nipples and the kitten syringes they may be small enough for a Cairn. Smooch the boys for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT101 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Missymoo, they are lovely, Hope little red boy keeps putting on the weight Well after a bad start this morning, I am feeling much better now. Went to the doctor today and apparently my glad is majorly swollen and the anitbiotics that I am on, is isolating the infection, hence the reason for the added tennis ball on the side of my face Alot better now, been having some nurofen which is making the swelling go down a little so hopefully next week, I can finally get this tooth out. Kimba is doing OK. Still really fussy and not eating much but seems to be drinking a bit. She has also got a red rash on her belly so have been putting bepanthen which seems to be easing it a little. I am not going to let her outside off leash anymore because she scratches her belly on the grass and makes it worse. We felt heaps of kicks tonight, puppies were going off Hope this isn't a sign of what to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappiemum Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Everytime I try to spend some belly rub/puppy kicking time with Tash her big boofhead brother wants to muscle in for a bit of attention too and then the pup (our 12 month bitch) wnats to know what all the fuss is about! I guess thats one of the problems of having such a bloody sooky breed! (I have too many Lappies and not enough arms!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weemanred is now being tube fed succesfully..fingers crossed it keeps going well. ;) Great news, hope he continues to improve and stay strong Kimba is still only wanting to eat cooked 'steak' :D I have just gone and bought her some more for the next few days. I have been putting her in her whelping box the last few nights and she has been ripping up her blankets already. Glad I haven't started to put newspaper in there yet :D Oh, and I bought a stethascope online a while ago and guess what I heard the puppies heart beats today. It was unreal.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're at 7 weeks tomorrow & Tuesday - here are a couple of pics from today.

SBT101 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Lappiemum, she is looking swell and fed up too Kimba has got bulges everywhere, I'm sure we are in for at least 6 The stethascope is a must have now I have heard the puppies. You can just hear them but wow, and my kids had a go too. There has been lots of movement too. Poor Kimba wont stop scratching her belly but I have put it down to it being so stretched its getting itchy... Will take some photos later.. Has everyone picked out their pedigree names for their puppies yet? We have the theme just need to put the names together. Cant wait for people to try and pronounce their names Edited November 15, 2010 by SBT101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT101 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Excuse the photos. Kimba is not very photogenic at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayly Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Oh, and I bought a stethascope online a while ago and guess what I heard the puppies heart beats today. It was unreal.... We did that a few days before Holly's bubs were due and it was awesome to hear the little heart beat! :D Yesterday the smallest in Holly's litter passed away. She sooked alot since she was born but the rest all seem happy and content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
