The pups all handled dew claw removal just fine. A couple of them had rear dew claws as well. Yes, I know some people advocate leaving them on but having HAD to remove many an injured dew claw over the years and having treated many a dog with an ingrown dew claw, we elected to remove them.
My dog Beep was sort of a control study on dew claws and agility injuries. He had one front dew claw (grew back) and one front leg without one. No change in arthritis, etc.
It is probably good that I have not figured out how to do a puppy webcam, though it might be funny. First, Deb lets Queezle outside. Then Deb moves puppies into a box, takes out dirty blankets and arranges new, lovely clean blankets. Puppies are artistically replaced in whelping box. Today on nice white blankets. Deb lets Queezle in. Queezle waits until Deb leaves and then starts yanking up blankets, scuffing them and totally rearranging them. Some times she creates a pile and other times, she simply shifts them all.
Green Boy has totally decided to go with the nude look. His ribbon keeps slipping off. So until I get some new ribbon and have Kate to help, he will be the resident nudist. What really confuses me is that at one point yesterday, White Boy had both his white rickrack AND the green ribbon on!
For some reason almost every time I check on the gang, six pups are readily seen but the 7th one is hidden - either behind Queezle, under the railing or hidden under a blanket. It varies who chooses to hide but drives me crazy!
The pups are actually starting to stand already which I think is early. Very active!
