Coastal Cuties and Spice It Up Litters ~ 2 Week Update

Sunday Sentinel 6/8/2025

Our sweet puppies are officially 2 weeks old, and we're hitting some exciting milestones! Their eyes and ears are now fully open, which means they can finally see the world, even if it's still a little blurry. It's such a heartwarming stage, knowing they're beginning to truly take in their surroundings.

We did their first deworming today with Pyrantel Pamoate. This is a very gentle and safe dewormer for young puppies and is part of our regular health protocol. We also sent a stool sample to the Vet, and I'm happy to report that both Shiloh and Zoe are parasite-free...great news for everyone! Mamas are also receiving a probiotic for gut health with their breakfast.

The mamas are starting to relax a bit more now. They're no longer hovering over the puppies constantly and are spending time outside the whelping box, only hopping in when it's time to feed. It's a natural shift as the puppies get a little older and stronger. Funny situation...I glanced at Shiloh feeding her babies. Her rump was actually sitting on the pig rails in the whelping box as she was sitting up feeding her babies. I've never seen a mama get quite this creative before. I literally laughed out loud!!!

Speaking of growing - Theis little ones are already starting to snuggle up under the pig rails and are even trying to climb up on them. Every litter seems to hit this curious phase right around this age and it's always so fun to watch. I tried to capture it in a video. I'll post on IG so you can see what I'm referring to. They are also beginning to play with each other in the sweetest ways. They lay on their sides and gently mouth one another. Also, while they are nursing, I take the time to gently pet each puppy around the head and neck. This helps them associate human touch with calmness and security, even while eating.

It's amazing how much change can happen in just one week. We are so proud of how well they're all doing ad can't wait to share more next week.
