During week 6 the pigmentation of the skin starts, so if Piper passed on her white foot to any pups it is starting now :-) Also the eyelids form and are sealed until the pup is around 6 weeks old. Pups should be around 2 inches right now. Piper has started to waddle slightly when walking and pretty much just enjoys eating and sleeping. We just go on walks for exercise. She is at 4 lbs weight gain. Her appetite is voracious. Her mother, Foosa, started throwing up right around this time of her first pregnancy as the pups start pushing on the stomach. We will keep a close eye on Piper and have "ginger root " capsules available if needed. This is a good all-natural remedy.
Piper now is having trouble curling up into a tight ball like she usually does while sleeping, poor baby. I try not to giggle at her. She is pretty adorable.
One week from today we have her second ultrasound scheduled for a puppy count!!!!!
