POOR LUCKY..

Poor Lucky, she has done so well feeding her pups, but we had to rush her to the vets with a temperature of 104 and acute mastitus, she was soo poorly. We have been advised to take the pups off her and feed them hard feed now, which we are. The pups are putting on weight and are so healthy, so I dont think it will have any affect on them. I have rang all new parents to say they can have their pups early, so they can have time to settle in, especially if Lucky cant feed them any longer. Mind you they are raring to go, they take a bit of looking after, you have to be with them and not leave them unattended for long. They also can only be outside for short spells as they get too tired and cold. A temp of 21 degrees is about right for them...So long as they are your life for a few weeks its ok!..But you do need this constant one to one for a few eeks to get them bedded in properly, that makes them better pets.
