calendar explanation:
The Echo is done to ascertain that Lobke is pregnant. Purpose of the echo is to see wether Lobke is pregnant or not. We can predict if the litter will be small or large but we won't know the number of puppies at that moment. With the X-ray we can exactly count the number of puppies. At day 42 we can do the X-ray, because at that moment there will be bone formation..
When the bitch is pregnant, she will gain weight. The first four weeks this isn't obvious. From week five the weight will increase.
monday 25 februari:
Today Lobke got her first herpes vaccination. We see that her apetite has increased, before she was a picky eater and now she eats everything.
tuesday 12 march 2013:
Lobkes mammary glands are slightly swollen. She's become really lazy. Unable to contain our curiousity we did the echo earlier than planned and saw several little heartbeats: LOBKE IS Pregnant!!!
sunday 17 march 2013:
Lobke eats less than before. She is more hungry in the evening. From now on we give puppyfood, to ensure she gets enough energy and vitamins.
