Morning, well firstly Lola, I must make the point the babies are only 9 weeks old and still very much learning, Minden was 12 weeks old when you had her and the 5 week difference makes a huge difference. I am concerned that she is peeing herself when sitting, Munsterlander's are not a dirty breed and do not like to soil where they play, so her wetting herself like you described says to me she had a problem, the most likely problem is Cystitis, can be quite common in baby girls but needs treating usually with synulox anti biotics. Lola wont be trying to be dirty so you need to stop and ask the question why? If she is confused then go back to basics with paper and move the paper to the door and out into the garden. You had posted that she was being clean in the first week so sounds to me like she either has a medical reason for wetting herself or she is muddled, so keep in mind she is just a wee baby and start again.
Kat, I am glad you have an answer as to Dodger's tummy, it's a shame he has allergies but yes it does answer a lot of questions, including why he was worse on the bland diet. It's a good job he likes his tuna as that's something he can have! You will soon see a huge difference if you haven't already now those things are cut from his diet. Cow's milk isn't great for dogs anyway so that's one thing he shouldn't miss, shame about the meats though but as I said at least he loves his fish.
My lot are all well thank goodness, I have paid way too much to the Vets in the past 6 months!!!
We are really enjoying the lovely weather and up working hard at Mudlarks, just need to get moved up there why do these things take so long? Bree is loving life and had her last injection yesterday so look out world!!! She travels so well in the car and seems to except when she has to be carried, although like I said it wont be for much longer.
