hope this file will help you in a way.

Week One (Days 1-7)

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

CARE OF THE PUPPIES

> Chart weight daily (2x daily first 2 days)

> Keep whelping box around 85 degrees Farenheit (this means if it's hotter than that out, put a fan in the room or turn on the air conditioning, if it's colder than that get a heat lamp to put above whelping box)
> When you handle the puppies, it's a good idea use a towel when you hold them. The puppies urinate upon stimulation and will inevitably find your attention stimulating.
