It's "Reign"ing Doodles and Her Royal Highness has been keeping me busy!

On Monday last week, Reign started nesting and having contractions.. Then..she stopped.  Together,  we spend a lot of time hanging out together and waiting....and waiting...

I was so thankful that Todd had updated and installed our camara one evening so at least I could go to work and watch for any more signs of labor.   She was just content to make us wait.......ALL WEEK!!!!
​

She started true labor around 11:30 am on Saturday morning and had her first puppy at Noon.   A gorgeous curly black male.    After that,  we were off!  This girl knows how to deliver a litter of pups....7 puppies in 3 hours.   
We cleaned up.  Fed her.  Changed to clean bedding...and suddenly --Number 8 appeared!

Our first night was quiet and calm.  She kept them fed, was feeling good and I checked on them about every 2 hours.  All was great. 
Sunday morning,  she started with the WORST diarrhea you can imagine.   We gave her Pepto, Canned Dog food and some pumpkin.   Every half hour she went out,  we have her more watered down canned dog food.   We were so worried that she was going to dehydrate.  On Monday morning,  I called my Savior  Dr. Bohl.  He got some meds for us right away,  she immediately felt better and the worry was over.   
The next few days,  all the pups were eating great and gaining weigh at a steady pace!!
​Yeah!!  

My biggest problem,  was getting anything else done...since I just loved watching and hanging out with them!!!
Then....I noticed a hard spot  --the evil Mastitis had appeared....

---

Friday night we just kept a close eye on the spot and made sure that a puppy was always nursing so that the duct didnt get infected and she didnt get worse. 
Saturday she was ok until about noon then she got a fever,  a HOT udder and we called Doc again.  He has us come and get something for her fever and said to keep cold compresses on there.   I proceeded to treat her through the night and into Sunday morning.   With the help of the meds, probiotics, cold compresses and me and the pups massaging her...we made it!!   Although we are still very closely watching her to make sure that all of the "spouts" get nursed out every time she feeds,  we are on the home stretch.  The infection is gone and the pups are gaining weight and happy  and our "Reign"ing Queen is safe and healthy!

There are several pups available is this litter.
