Yesterday was a busy day. I felt that Miss Pink was not comfortable - very fussy and not wanting to eat much. Off to the vet's office to be sure. The vet felt she got a chill so we spent the last 24 hours keeping her warm to raise her temperature. While Cindy held her on her lap with the heating pad I dealt with another possible problem, mastitis. We put compresses on Dart's rear teats and massaged them to get them more supple. Marcy stayed over and set the alarm to treat Dart every hour last night. The puppies wanted the front nipples, for an easy meal, so we kept either vet wrap or a shirt on Dart so the puppies were forced to nurse on the rear nipples. This morning Dart was much, much better with puppies happily nursing. Miss Pink was hungry and sufficiently heated. When we put her under a towel she crawled out quickly which she would do if she was too warm :)
At this point, except for a lack of sleep, all is well.
