border collie

.................which of the four dogs will be house training poopie?

Colostrum is only needed straight after birth. They can't absorb or use it after a certain time. Googled this; The first 36 hrs of a puppies life is the critical period nutritionally. Healthy puppies will nurse right away and then every few hours. The pups must nurse from their mother within 12 hours of birth to receive her antibodies against disease. After 12 hours, their stomachs will not absorb antibodies. After this first 12 hours, if the mother does not have enough milk, or if her litter is too large, then the pups' diet can be supplemented with commercial puppy milk replacer. Cow's milk is nutritionally inadequate for puppies. And it was off this site which looked quite good; http://lowchensaustralia.com/breeding/bottlefeeding.htm

oooh I could squeeze her in

The carrot suggestion for worms was mentioned by a Doctor to my mum in the 1960's. It was thought that threadworms loved the carrot so much that they gorged themselves and burst. Only threadworms were mentioned. I don't think it is terribly good advice to give to a dog owner who has a dog with a large roundworm burden.

Oh my god imagine the feeling when she went in nursery and they said, "ooh hello, where is ickle baby today?" and then to run out in blind panic and see him tucked away, dead,
