So Hopi decided that it's OK to have the babies now and she pulled a lot more fur...so much fur off her dewlap that she is down to bare skin! It looked raw this morning, so I cleaned it with vanodine and put a bit of Bag Balm on it to protect it.
But on the bright side, the babies look good. The ears are healing really well. Most of the bruising is going away. She is feeding them until they roll away from her! One still has a small scab on it's head (clean, no infection). And the really badly bruised baby still has a scab on it's back foot. (It was slightly infected, so that got soaked in vanodine this morning and cleaned too.)
Some photos:
Sleeping babes!

You can see how well the ears are healing!
This was the most damaged ear! (Much better!)
You can see the baby all the way on the left side, his foot has a black scab and a bit of white fluid. I soaked it and it looks much better now.
Considering how badly injured this litter was, I am ecstatic over how good they look at 2 days of age. (This is the really badly bruisedbaby from the second photo I posted. See how well the ear and eye injuries are healing? I'm so happy!)
And I did get a new 8 month old White boy to diversify my gene pool. (That should make my girls VERY happy!) We have named him Ray-Ray (don't ask!) and he seems to be settling in well. Nothing wrong with that boy's appetite!
We presently have 4 other blue Flemish litters, 2 Mini Rex litter and 2 Silver Fox litters... None having any problems... and then we have thisone whitelitter.... they are going to be pretty special!
