Thanks Scorpgal, the babies are actually normal/short hair mixed wt Sheltie.

You gps are so cute, i like Prada's colour.
Which vets u went to? Do the vet noticed abt the problem of Prada also? Bayer Advantage so far is the best treatment for mites,lice for gps. You must clean their cage also after they came back from the treatment (frm vets) because they cage might also have the kutu. If possible,after u clean the cage, you can dry it under sun so that all the hidden kutu will kill also.

No worries, they will recover soon.

TQ T__T but i think carol's & scorpgal's one are cuter!

ah nono... Mommy aLready given biRth d... LOLs..that pic was taken 2 months ago...

Just wanna know when to separate the maLe baby GP from the mommy...

I think as long as 4-5 weeks old, able to eat and drink themself should be ok to separate them from mother already. Jingle's parent left her(RIP) when she was 10 days old, i have taking care of her by feeding her pallet,hay and Heiz vegetable baby paste (human baby vegs paste in glass bottle) to replace mother milk daily. I feed the baby paste until she refuse to take and replace wt fresh vegs and fruits(she dont eat vegs and fruits until i bring Jasper back to influence her).

My degree Marketing Strategy exam is on tomorrow but i have not prepare yet.
I cant focus on my study but keep on doing my work(work at home since i'm on study leave)and thinking the suitable cage for 4 of my piggies ......thinking whether should i separate them father and son 1 cage,mother and daughter 1 cage or putting them together as happy family in big big cage. My hubby said he dont really feel to separate them and coming when we have more grand grand grand childrens, just put for adoption to gps lover, but i know when the times come,for sure i dont feel to let go them  
Terrible lah me but i cant control myself.

aww..that's so sad... I do sneeze sometimes when i'm cLeaning theiR cages but it's nothing too seRious...

Did u aLL know that Dr. Jenny is aLLergic to GP's?

Ok will take out the water bowl out tonite. How many days can i try this ar? I scare later he dehydrated leh...

ow... really.. got mor info den d V4...

Sorry Emily for the late reply, as what you told me before....u calm down. As i know both of them not the 1st time staying at Colin's there right? So i think it should not be any problem, remember to take some Alfalfa and Timothy hay either then pallets for them also. After all the checking at Dr.Jenny there, you bring them back faster and let them rest with maybe light off or put down the blink, i mean just give them a relax environment and let them calm down. If they calm down and have enough of rest, they will come out for food. As long as they eat as normal, it should not be a problem.

Jasper last visiting to vets is even worse, taking abt 4-5 hrs to check him and taking x-ray. All this checking is not done only at Hand n Paws but also need to go to Dr.Yeoh there for taking a x-ray film and after taking the x-ray film we need to go back Hand n Paws again for Dr.Jenny to see the film and do some final checking before giving medicine. Jingle was pregnant at that time and she is also there with us as well. So pity her, cant rest even pregnant and some more need to go here and there with me waiting Jasper checking and etc.

But both of them are ok at the day even Jasper was sick. Maybe i should thanks god on this but sometimes we must believe them. We know it is not good for them but still we have to do it as we have no choice. I believe that they will understand us.

kah you emily 

No one reply me geh?   
Is it normal for GP loose fur everywhere?

I notice he like to scatch alot's wan wor.. But i din notice any mites at his body wor..
His fur dropping not lot's lar.. but is around the cage u'll notice it...
Maybe i should try to bath him 1st... 

I think its normal for GP to drop a lot of fur, as long as they are not sccratching a lot. Since yours scratch a lot maybe it has a skin problem?
