We have some extremely sad news about our current litter...
Two days after they were born we lost 4 pups, I took mom and the 6 remaining pups to an emergency clinic. The clinic had a 4 hour wait and this hindered the survival of 2 pups, one passed away in the car as we waited, and the other passed away when we got home. Mom has mastitis in all of her t***s, she had absolutely no symptoms and it ultimately killed 6 puppies. Mom and the 4 remaining babies have been on medication since their vet visit, they're all doing fantastic. Mom and the babies have been separated since that day, she does get to love on them with supervision and has been attached to their crate since the separation.
We did plan on this being Dutchess' last litter, and she will be getting spayed as soon as possible. This has been a very difficult experience for our family, Dutchess, and Triton. I've had little to no sleep for the last 2 weeks, because I've been doing bottle feeds every 2 hours, and I'd do it again if I had to because that's the responsible thing to do! I'll try and post pictures and videos, I am struggling with the lack of sleep, so it may not be daily. Once they give me more sleep I'll be able to post daily again.
