Week 3 Begins!
Sienna’s puppies are really beginning to devlop now! Most of their eyes are open…a couple are still just half way there…the littler ones. Sunday (at 2 weeks old) they got their first pedicure! 7 pups X 18 wiggly toes…126 toes altogether!
They also got their first dose of dewormer. This is precautionary. All puppies are born with intestinal parasites…passed on from their mom in utero. My adults get regular doses of dewormer about every other month but even then they pick things up inbetween from being outside. Adults can tolerate parasites to some extent. Puppies, on the other hand, are very susceptible to complications! So they get dewormed every 2 weeks with two different formulas that treat different varieties of parasites.
Besides eyes opening, they also are getting pigment devlopment on their noses. I hate to see the pink noses disappear… wish they could stay forever! Oh well!
Here are some pix!
Eevee is a red sable parti (means some white). His eyes are just beginning to open but his nose is getting pigment.
Pikachu has beautiful eyes! and his nose is almost fully pigmented.
Pansear’s eyes are also open and partial nose pigment. She is really moving around too!
Togepi. Isn’t he adorable! Some of his coat is getting a bit of color…maybe apricot like his mom. Some nose pigment too!
Ash has some nose pigment and it’s difficult to see, because of his black coat. but his eyes are fully open!
Swirlix is getting more coat color too. And check out those beautiful eyes!
Our little guy, Luxio, is still waiting to see the light! But his nose is completely black.
