Chipmunk Pupdate

I went to visit the kids today and was lucky enough to catch them out of the isolation area and getting their baths. These poor kids sure look bad but are on the road to recovery. Unfortunately we can't use any of the big dog drugs on them to clear this up faster without harming them with the side effects. I was able to see three kids get their baths and they sure don't like it when the water gets on them. The vet techs can't bathe them in very warm water because of the existing mites so when the cooler water is put on them, they were quite upset and making a lot of noise. As soon as they stopped, they were back to the happy, calm puppies that we have seen. I will be going to see them again in a couple days and will send out updates. We also will need to start them on their booster shots so that they can build up immunity to all the diseases that puppies can encounter. They need that immunity before they can go to a foster home.
