As I always do, once the pups are born and a couple days of age, I make an appointment with my vets to have them checked over to be sure they are in good shape and nothing is questionable.
- They are thoroughly examined (ears, mouth, abdomen, appendages, heart, temperature, skin)
- Dew claws are removed if evident (this prevents tears from happening when out and about as well as an injury prevention when at groomers)
- weighed to be sure they are gaining appropriately
- are active not lethargic
At the same time, Phoebe is also checked over to be sure she has no fever, that her uterus is 'cleaned out' and free of debris, her mammary glands have milk and her lymph nodes are all normal.
Happily all are perfect!
