Although I like to do everything I can as holistically as I can, there are times that judicious use of chemicals can produce more benefits than harm. I believe that the initial course of worming is one of them. Although Flossy was wormed every 19 days before mating to clear her system out completely, then again in the middle of her pregnancy because of the rabbit affair, there was still a risk of worm larvae migrating through the placenta into the puppies before they were born or through the mammary glands into the milk afterwards.
So today all the puppies have been given a dose of Milbemax.

Tim Hosken from Alma Road Veterinary Hospital came over to check all the puppies today. The examination covers ears, eyes, mouth, basic structure, hip development and he listens to the heart. Iggle Piggle clearly enjoyed the fuss...
Isla is having her mouth checked.
Ice passes the heart test (well, whose heart wouldn't melt just looking at him eh??)
Indy thought the whole process was VERY boring.
Ingot passed all his tests with flying colours....
Ikofo having his ears checked
Imp enjoys the "cuddle"
and Isobel is FAR more interested in what the kids left on the table after last night's tea..
