WEEK FOUR
The puppies are getting solid food now: soaked biscuits, goat's milk and special puppy mousse mixed together which they love. Of course, they still like to drink from mum Willow too.
​
They are becoming super playful and have been moved out of the whelping box, into a larger pen where they have toys and have space to run around.
WEEK THREE
The eyes and ears have opened fully and their teeth are coming through. They are interacting with each other a lot now and responding to us. Today was their first experience outside.
​
We have given all puppies and Willow a worm treatment. This is routinely done around 3, 5 and 7 weeks of age, because young animals are much more susceptible to get worms and to sustain damage from worms. We start with a very mild worming product with 3 week old puppies. It is not advised to use worm or flea treatment at the same time as vaccinating your puppy, wait 10 days to avoid overloading your puppy's immune system.
We advise all our puppy owners to worm their puppy at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. After that, twice a year. Using a broad-spectrum worming tablet like Drontal from the vet, online or farm supply shop, that covers all worms. You can also use a natural treatment like apple cider vinegar on a regular basis in their water or food.
WEEK TWO
The puppies are growing fast. Their eyes and ears are now opening, their mobility is developing to crawling through the whelping box, starting to interact with each other and responding to us. They still sleep and drink for the majority of the time. This week there are photos and a video of them.
WEEK ONE
When the puppies are born, they are born deaf and blind and their main needs are warmth and milk.
We make sure they are getting both.
​
For the first few weeks, we monitor their weight to make sure the smaller ones are getting enough to drink. Especially in the first few weeks, a steady weight increase in all of the puppies is crucial for good health.
​
The whelping box gets cleaned twice a day, so the puppies stay dry and clean. Puppies are born blind and deaf. After 10-14 days their eyes and ears are opening up, and they start exploring.
​
They are just under a week old in these pictures.
