Day 6: (click here for further chihauhau pictures)

Pictures: Smooth Coated Chi's at 6 days old: mary@chihuahuas-online.co.uk

All 5 x pups are doing extremely well, and are gaining an average of 12-20g p/day in weight.
I have taken some pictures today of all the pups, they are so cute....
This is the Red/Tan boy:-















Below is the smallest of the 2 sable girls:-And here we have the larger of the 2 sable girls:-
Next is the champagne/cream coloured little boy:-
And last but not least, my beautiful little pure white girl:-

Daisy (mum) is coping extremely well, although I would be happier if she would eat a bit more than she is doing. However, the vet did say that it was normal for them to have a slight loss of appetite for during the first few days, and so long as she is drinking plenty of fluids, this will help keep up her milk production. And she is drinking plenty, so nothing to worry about.

My long-haired Chi, Roxi-Pocket, is due to deliver her litter any day now. It will be her 63rd day of pregnancy on Saturday (29th july), but she may well produce today as she is very quiet and staying by her bed this morning, pretty much the same scenario as for Daisy on the day she gave birth, so fingers crossed she will deliver today. I hope she does to be honest, as she is enormous, and so hot and uncomfortable in this heat..

Ok, thats just about it for Day 6 of Daisy's litter Diary. I will keep you posted on how Roxi gets on, and keep adding diary entries on a daily basis.
