The pups on day 4.  

Mom started having seizures on Sunday night so on Monday Sept 30 she had a c-section.  It has taken a whole week to get every one going forward and gaining weight.  She had 6 but I lost one.  There are two girls and 3 boys.  They are all Sable Merles.  The little dark spots at this age is the merling but they will mostly look like sables as time passes.  It does not affect the puppy in any way except they look a bit different when grown, very pretty actually a bit exotic.  

So mom does not have much milk unfortunately so I am helping with bottle formula every 3-4 hrs around the clock.  I will post more as we get our routine down more pat.  Desi is also being treated for the seizures.  We do not know if they are pregnancy related or came out of nowhere but once we are past this hormonal time she will come off the medicine and test if she still has issues with Seizure.  They did not affect the pups.  That black dish in the box is called a whelping nest it is heated so they do not get chilled.  When mons lay on it to long they get over heated.
