April�s 2nd Day In Our World

Yesterday, a friend alerted me to ask Mary to check if Capri’s nipples has milk. It turned out that there was milk, but very little, and some nipples do not even have milk at all. By late evening, I think Capri’s nipples were sore and even warm compression did not help. Capri started pushing little April away.

Mary didn’t know what to do, so I gave her the names of several brands of puppy milk to purchase from Kedah failing which my friends and I will purchase the milk from here and courier it up to Kedah for April.

Luckily, one of the vets were open today and the clinic had puppy milk, Milkodog.

I sent Mary our link last night:�http://myanimalcare.org/fosterrehome/. �It is her first time nursing a newborn animal, so she needed some pointers. Handraised newborns need to have the following done for them:

1. Wipe mouth after feed to prevent a milk rash.
2. Massage private parts with warm cotton wool to stimulate urination and defecation after feed.
3. To be kept warm at all times (Capri will do that).
