Olivia, Border Collie Puppies and the rest of the Gang
Well, the 2nd week of the heartworm treatment is almost over. I was told it's the most dangerous.
Olivia seems a little bit on the down side, since she can't act like a dog I guess, but she also sleeps a lot and is doing otherwise ok, so I'm not worried. The vet said that she might get a little depressed. So she gets some extra brushing (she loooves her soft bristle horse brush!! It shows in the shine, doesnt' it?) and TLC.
The pups are starting to run around now, falling all over themselves lol, and Honey doesn't take much care of them anymore. She does go in there a few times a day and still cleans them, but she won't lay down with them anymore.
WOW, big paw right there!!! hahaha
Her appointment to get spayed is next Wednesday!
Yesterday we received a box of rawhide from a kind dog lover, Olliver can't wait lol:
Thank you, Claudia!!!

Olivia, day 9 of her Heartworm Treatment
Olivia has not needed pain medication in a few days now and she feels good. Her appetite still lacks a little, but she's not in pain anymore. She wants to play with the other dogs, but has learned that she needs to stay quiet and then she gets her cuddles and all is good :).
She also came out of heat finally, which helped a lot to calm her down too!
I think Honey is about to start though!! I set up her appointment to be spayed for next week Wednesday. There was no earlier appointment available. I hope she won't start with the "mess" before that!
The 4 Border Collie puppies are doing great too. The only male and runt could grow a bit bigger for my taste, but he appears to be ok, except that he's half the size of his 3 very strong sisters.
They are spending most of their time outside in the sun now, but get hot really fast, so they need a lot of shade too and wet towles to sleep on. They love wet towels. Honey still cares for them, but is totally dried up.
We are going to start the puppies on solids today, this is going to be fuuuuuun and very very messy! I will post pictures later!

Olivia feels better
Olivia, Sandy, and Honey eating together. Olivia will not eat when she is alone or even locked up in her pen.
She is feeling a LOT better than yesterday and almost a handful to keep calm today. She wants to run and play, and it's breaking my heart to have to hold her back, but it can harm her tremendously if I would allow it, so I keep reminding myself of that constantly.

Olivia on day 4 of her Heartworm Treatment
Olivia isn't feeling so good these days. She never was a morning person, but now she cries out in pain when she moves first thing in the morning.
The Vet gave us pain medication, and once she has taken her dosage, she starts to feel better, but her appetite has declined a lot.
