More Pups

On the 26th, Lady (another foster with SSMPR) had 8 chocolate pups. She was a terrible mom and the first two pups died because she did not remove the sac. Once discovered in the morning, Lady was taken to the vet and they removed 6 pups by c-section ($1400). She refuses to take care of the surviving 4 and they need to be bottle fed every two hours. A wonderful volunteer is making it happen and we are praying they all survive.

Today, Norma (another foster with SSMPR) gave birth to 8 pups, 1 red male, 1 red female, 1 black and tan female, 2 black and tan males, 2 chocolate females, 1 chocolate male. They are all doing well! She started at 9:30 am and gave birth to her last one at 4pm. They all seem pretty healthly and she is taking good care of them. She will also need your prayers that they all survive.

Only one more pregnant puppy mill dog needs to give birth, I go on vacation tomorrow and will update you when I get back from our much needed Alaskan cruise.
