Question

[Janet Morrow]

Hanna and Jo-Jo's three oldest pups are on their own now.  I have read that there are sometimes problems with pups when they are first taken from the parents.  So far they are doing fine.  The only thing that I did notice last night was that their fur looked a little greeser than normal.  I thought that they might not be grooming themselves well enough.  They are active and eating.   1.  What should I watch for? 2.  If the pups do start having problems how much Tetracycline would I add to their water?  (The bottle holds 8oz.) PLEASE NOTE:  I did buy some antibiotics from the nearest pet store last time I was there.  All they had was "Tetracycline Antibiotic Capsules"  "Freshwater Formula A 1-H,  Specific for Livebearers and Goldfish."  (they had none for birds)    The capsules are 250 mg, and it says to add 1 to each 10 NET gallons of aquarium water.    Thank you, Janet
