day 7......Look at the posted pictures. the puppies are growing and are now starting to resemble puppies instead of little piglets. They are eating great with no problems. sometimes puppies will have problems learning how to suck and if they do not catch on fast enough they don't make it. These puppies however are growing fat! Next week they will look like fat little bodies with legs poking out to the sides. You can also see that their embilical cords have now dried up and fallen off leaving a small dimple we would call a belly button. At this age there still is not a lot of activity. Their main concern is finding mom and eating. They don't get upset if mom leaves for a few minutes now, since they have learned how to keep their bellies full and can find each other for warmth. Dew claws to be removed today. They wont be happy but it only hurts for a minute and will save them from potential injury latter in life.
