The Chronicles of Adam - day 12

We skipped day 11.  It was just too much for me.  I'm a walking zombie today too.

Lookit my gigantic...... FOOT!  (you thought I was gonna say bum, didn't you?? ;-) )

and my teeny tiny little hock :)  (with no points to be found still)

and my 'getting cuter by the day' face :) (again, with no points to be found)
I cannot thank you all enough for the overwhelming amount of love and support I have felt in the last 48 hours.  This puppy has so many people pulling for him - he has his own fan club! :)

He appears to be doing well...  as well as a 12 day old puppy can who has pneumonia.  He's steadily gaining weight (he's up to 2 lbs 7.5 oz on my scale) and is motoring around the whelping box.  He's nursing regularly (ya think?  Almost 3 pounds worth of not quite 2 week old Cardigan!) and aside from an occasional cough, he appears pretty normal. 

He's receiving .05cc of Clavamox twice daily, and I started him on .01cc of plain yogurt mixed with Esbilac (to water it down some) today.  He's also receiving a hefty dose of love and affection as well as thoughts and prayers...  :) 

He and his momma see the vet tomorrow.  Sedona for stitches removal (hooray!!) and Adam for a re-check.  Dr. Miyahira called me yesterday morning to check on us.  Not just Adam, but me too.  Love that guy!  (he's also the vet who did Kota's hematoma surgery back in May of 09).  Good vet.... good, GOOD vet.  :)

Onward to day 13.  :)
