Uh Oh!


 

Vinlands Isla, Sunna, Thora and Saga

The puppies are sleeping less and playing more. 

A couple of days ago one of the puppies got a case of diarrhea. Unfortunately it was hard to tell which one was affected. I watched and waited and waited and waited to see if I could tell which pup was affected with no luck. Now it seems to have spread to at least two other pups. I started treating them all with Albon. 

I strongly suspect they have coccidia which is very common in pups of all breeds after they are weaned. I'm hoping I caught it in time for them to recover before their scheduled departures. I don't want to release them to their new homes until they are OK again.

I will keep you informed on their progress and any changes in plans if necessary. 

FLIGHTS: - Isla is traveling to Pennsylvania on Monday, May 28. Saga and Wodin are scheduled to leave on Friday June 1 for Milwaukee and Seattle.


COMING TO PICK THEIR PUPS UP: - Soffia's family will be picking her up some time during Memorial Day weekend. Sunna will be picked up on Sunday, May 27. Thora will leave on June 2.

Fortunately the diarrhea has not affected their energy or their appetites.

The pups have "discovered" rawhide chewers and love them. (The chewers were introduced after they got diarrhea.)

They are also fond of carrying the dumbbells around (usually by the center bar but not always).
