Puppy Watch Begins .....Dutch and Fiona Litter!
Fiona and I visited our vet this morning, and as you can see from the X-ray, she’s expecting a large litter! Care to guess how many?
She’s now enjoying five to six small meals a day — there’s not much room left in there for big portions! To keep her hydrated and nourished, she’s getting homemade bone broth along with her prenatal vitamins, probiotics, and a variety of fresh raw foods. She’s also taken a real liking to lightly seared liver.
At this stage, the puppies are fully developed and could safely arrive at any time. They’ve finished most of their development and are simply growing bigger each day. Puppies are born with their eyes closed, which typically open around ten days after birth.
It’s easy to feel them moving now — they’re quite active and growing rapidly. We’ll continue to pamper Fiona and keep her as comfortable as possible as we await the big day!
We’ve also begun monitoring her temperature twice daily, since a significant drop will signal that the puppies are on their way.
Stay tuned… exciting times ahead!
