Puppy Development - Week Two


puppies are right on schedule with their development, they've matured so much in the past week, they fuss less, their momma is starting to want to come out and play with her canine friends and get the usual hugs and snacks in the evening, they are growing out of their collars.  I'm able to tell them apart, but a growth splurt can cause complete confusion which they are so the collars must stay
Week Two (Days 8-14)

DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUPPIES
  • Eyes should open around days 8-10
  • Ears should open around days 13-17
CARE OF THE PUPPIES
  • Keep whelping box around 80-83F
  • Begin holding puppies in different ways (applying light stress)
  • Trim nails weekly
CARE OF THE BITCH
  • Bitch should get three times her normal amount of food
TO DO LIST
  • Continuously watch them root around, eat and sleep
