ok. Vet exam. You all know that I've switched vets this litter. I really like Littlestown. They seem far more knowledgeable about reproduction and breeding than any vet I've used. In the past I have always vaccinated at 8,12,16. This litter I had decided to do the 6,10,14. So that they are protected sooner. People get impatient and expose pups early to stuff they shouldn't. Well Littlestown recommends the 8,12,16. They really want me to hold off till 8 weeks. I've spent most of the morning on the phone with them. I'm going to take their recommendations and wait. I had said before there are trade offs. They feel waiting is more beneficial than doing early. And I trust them. So vet visit is July 22nd at 10am. I will still be taking Bella tomorrow for an exam. She is thin. So I want to follow up to keep her in good health. She would starve her self for the puppies if I would let her. She insists on feeding them everything she eats. She is beyond a great mother. I have a hard time convincing her they can eat what I feed them. She would rather gobble it up and nurse them then regurgitate it later for them. She likes to be in control of when and how much they eat.
