MAY 22 DAY 11

Did a little research and apparently puppies can get this kind of diarrhea due to too much nursing and rich milk... go figure ;)  Leave it to the Alchmy girls to promote a healthy appetite!  Nickel does tend to do more nursing if I hang out by the whelping box so I might try to move my 'operation' to the other room and encourage her to take more breaks.   Seems that either the slippery elm or Pepto Bismol (or both) have helped.  Pups poops are looking a little better today.  Phew.


Here's Corsa checking out the puppies for the first time.  She's been sitting outside the whelping box watching them for the past two days.  She's intrigued by them.  This has been her position for each litter but this time she's finally crossed the invisible line and entered the box.  
When Corsa was a puppy I would take her to my brother's house for visits.  He had a guinea pig that she was just obsessed over.  To this day when we go to his house she runs directly to the room... despite the fact that there hasn't been a guinea pig there for 10 years! LOL.
Corsa is convinced that these are guinea pigs.....
