The puppies are continuing to thrive. They are growing fast and gaining lots of weight! Raven is simply fantastic looking after her babies, so attentive and gentle!
Here is a lovely video of the puppies nursing and falling into a milk coma afterwards 😝 they are all so adorable 🥰
Raven is doing a spectacular job as first time mummy! She is such a natural and dotes on them every second.
All the puppies had fantastic weight gains this morning, some of the best we’ve ever had and they’re only just 2 days old! We have some right whoppers here! 😁
We have cleaned up and set up the box nice and cosy with our brand new vet fleece for Raven and her gorgeous babies!
Raven has had a delicious meal of scrambled eggs with some glucose powder added in to help with her energy levels. All the pups are feeding really well already and getting that all important colostrum 😁
We are going to relax a bit now after a long night!
We are up to 9 now 😁
We’re not 100% sure if Raven has finished yet. We will give it another hour before we clean up and get the box all nice and cosy for everyone!
Just to update everyone on Raven. We are still waiting for her temperature drop which indicates that puppies will be coming in the next 24 hours. Raven is very settled and not showing any signs of starting at the moment so it likely won’t be today now but tomorrow instead 🤞🏻
As you can see we have given Raven a shorter cut so she won’t get too matted whilst nursing her babies. This has really showed how big she is now! 😁
We’ve had a busy weekend setting up the puppy room for Raven’s impending litter. All our new vet bed has been cut and ready to go, we’ve stocked up on supplies and Raven approves of her whelping box 😁 she is really starting to show now and we should start to feel puppies kicking by the the end of the week 🥰
