Update On Lady And Puppies UPDATE 5/05/07 POST #26

[Reachoutrescue]

First I want to apologize for not updating you guys sooner. I started a new job that requires me to work from 10 pm to 8 am. At first it was every night, now it is only 4 nights a week and I am getting used to the hours. So I am sorry for not posting this thread sooner.

The puppies are getting so BIG! They are now almost seven weeks old (on Friday they'll be 7 wks). They are eating puppy food now and drinking lots of water. They do not nurse as much so I have seperated Lady from them during the day, just to give her a break. All of the puppies but two have homes waiting for them. The applicants passed criminal background checks, reference checks, and house checks. I had some weird people call about these pups, but we narrowed it down to (we hope) the perfect families.

As for Lady....well no home yet. She is sick. We are not sure what is wrong with her. I have an appointment on Saturday for her to go to our vet. She is very mopey, walks very slow, barely eats or drinks, she is not gaining any weight (she is very thin), and her gums are pretty pale. The vet has nothing open until Saturday and I don't get paid til Friday. This just started the last week....right before I started seperating the pups. She is friendly, wags her tails, but just seems so sad and not feeling good. I hope it is nothing serious, as we were thinking of keeping her. She is such a good dog and so gentle. Please pray for her. I have started giving her raw and she likes the beef, not the chicken...but even that she barely eats. I have to hand feed her in order for her to eat. Her poop is soft, but not mush, and an orangish color. I will post after the vet on Saturday.

Well here are the pictures of the pups and Lady. Enjoy.

The pups first encounter with softened puppy food. These were taken about two weeks ago.

The two bigger males always seem to smell the food first! And lil' Rascal is quickly catching up in size....and appetiite (sorry I know I can't spell!!)


Slowly they all smell the food.


And it is all over with now.....happy puppies....big messes!


A couple of weeks later......

Look how big we are!!!

Please don't mind the mess..... these pups are something but hard to keep up with!

Omg, the pups are so stinking cute!! I love the brown and white ones forhead, all the wrinkles are adorable. Pit bull pups are so cute! The pups look happy, fat and sassy.

I'm so sorry that Lady isn't feeling well. She is a beautiful girl, she looks like such a sweetie. I pray she will be ok. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers. (((Hugs)))

I hope Lady will feel better soon. She looks like such a love.

[Giselle]

Oooh, they're adorable. Poor Lady, I hope she's alright! Is she drinking and eating normally? I hope this is just a case of motherly anxiety

[Taz_Zoee]

Awww, they are so precious!! I hope Lady is going to be okay. She will be in my thoughts.

Lady will be in our prayers, poor girl.

My vet had to reschedule our appointment due to his own personal issues. So I am taking Lady to Paws on Sunday morning for a H.W. test. If she is negative, then I will schedule another appointment with my vet for early next week to have tests done. If she is positive for H.W., I am not sure what I am going to do. Treatment here is highly expensive. I will just have to wait until Sunday to find out and then go from there.

Please keep sweet Lady in your prayers.

If you look at this picture, you can see her ribs because she is under weight, but her stomach looks very bloated. I dewormed her this morning, but nothing yet.


This is how she always looks lately, and what she does all day long. Poor Lil' Lady.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Awwwwww......her sad face is breaking my heart I hope and pray she's just a little tired from being a Mommy and she'll snap back. She deserves a good life.

[Kfamr]

They are so precious and mama is so pretty!

[Reachoutrescue]

Lady goes in tomorrow for a H.W. test. Please pray for her. She is taking a lot of deep breathes. She is a little perkier today, but not much. She ate some raw beef (chunks made for stew) with some Missing Link on it yesterday and today. She also had a can and a half (small can) of Innova dog food today. She also nibbled on some puppy food (puppy for protien) mixed with cottage cheese. She is still drinking and going to the bathroom well. She is just so depressed and her gums are so pale. Please pray for her tomorrow.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I'll be praying for her for sure. I want her to be HW free so bad!! I would love to see this pretty baby get well and live a good life We need another PT miracle here!! GET WELL LADY AND CHEER UP-WE LOVE YOU!!
