For the first three weeks, I was their mom. If I named them, then I would definitely keep them. |
I also have five children at home, all under the age of 10. So needless to say, we keep busy. |
I do a lot of C-sections in my practice, so this was nothing different. The puppies were about two weeks premature and didn't have hair. We were able to revive the puppies. I tried to get them to nurse on their own, but they wouldn't eat. I had to feed them with a syringe. It was a lot of work for me, getting up every two hours to stimulate them and feed them by hand. |
It's worked out great. I didn't think she would take to them, but it's been unbelievable. |
There have been so many people who come in and want to see her and the puppies. One woman wanted to adopt one of these puppies because she had four cats at home and thought that a puppy raised by a cat would be perfect to get along with. Everyone who comes in is just amazed by the whole story. |
There wasn't much we could do for the dog. She had a severe head injury. But I could tell right away that the dog was pregnant. |
