I know I always forget when you can expect the pups to do certain things... so for the sake of my puppy people and anyone else intrested thought I would post these updates when relevant :)
(Not my development table by the way)!
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUPPIES
90% of time spent sleeping
10% eating
Susceptible to heat/cold
Instinctive reflexes: crawl, seek warmth, nurse
They can right themselves if placed upside down
Needs stimulation for urination/defecation
Rapid development of central nervous system
Need constant care from bitch
Pups may lose 10% of weight after birth, but should start gaining again
Weight should double by end of week (Gem: this one is a bit odd as I had always heard by day eight weight should double- that one day can make all the difference)!
