Applewoods Song of Liberty
Applewood's Song of Liberty took Best of Breed and Best in Miscellaneous class at the Naugatuck Valley Kennel Club show on July 4th 2012 under judge Wendy Willhauck. Libby was one year and one day old at her first AKC show and is a homebred out of Int. CH Lakesides Jazzy Jack of Applewood and Wilshy's Rhapsody N Blu of Applewood. She was bred and handled by Ellen Friedman-Smith. Libby was the first Mini American to be awarded a Best in Miscellaneous in New England and possibly on the whole East Coast. She went on to take BOB in her next two shows on July 6th and 7th. Poppa Chuck, or brush boy as he calls himself, is very proud of this team. |

Knowing the Signs of Eclampsia Can Save a Dam's Life
By Susan Chaney
"Hypocalcemia is most often seen three to five weeks after whelping, Casal says, "at the peak of lactation." It typically occurs because the dam loses too much calcium through her milk, due to a larger-than-normal litter or unusually big puppies. Inadequate nutrition prior to or after whelping can also cause hypocalcemia. When this happens, the dam's body will do everything it can to produce milk with enough calcium for the puppies....
"There's a lot of calcium in milk, and there has to be," Casal says. "Normally it comes from the diet. If there's not enough, it comes from the bones." At some point, calcium will come from the bloodstream, where it is a naturally occurring mineral. "If the calcium drops in the serum [blood], things like muscles don't work properly." Not just large muscles, like those in the legs, are affected. Any muscle, including the heart, as well as nerve conduction, can suffer, "
