| Pics of Lilah and her 10 babies! Due to the fact that I'm slightly a tech-tard and can't figure out how to resize pics to put on here, I'll put a couple links on instead. I have several pics in an album on my page, though! Someone asked about stats... 6 girls, 4 boys, with the smallest (a boy) coming in at about 3 1/2 oz. The rest were 4 and 5 oz. I don't have a digital scale, so I can't get an exact weight. Someone else asked how big momma is... before she got knocked up, she was about 19 lbs, and Vader (daddy) is about 10 lbs. Momma and babies are all doing fine this morning, pups are all active and nursing well, and momma is doing an amazing job! I'm so proud of her. I do have one question, tho...is it normal for momma to not want to get up and eat or drink? It seems like she doesn't want to leave the babies long enough, even though her dishes are right next to the box. She eats and drinks when my husband or I hold the bowl right up to her, but hasn't made the effort to do it on her own. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pic...ictureid=33959 http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pic...ictureid=33925 |

| All my new moms get breakfast in bed. Make sure that she eats and gets plenty of water. Suppliment with calcium and watch for signs of eclampsia in the next 3 weeks. That's a huge litter even for a really big gal and they will be a major frain on her body.

| Congratulations! That is one huge puppy pile! Tami is correct, it is such a drain on mommy with that big of a litter. I never heard of one having TEN puppies! Be sure and give mommy extra food and extra calcium rich foods. You might want to make her some of the whelping pudding to help keep her nourished. Here is the recipe Post Whelping Pudding 16 oz. water 1 pkg. Knox Gelatin (micro. to disolve) 15 oz. can evap. milk 2 tabls. vanilla yogurt 2 egg yolks 2 tabls. white corn syrup mix all ingred. in bowl let set in fridge until thickens. Spoon out as needed

| Congratulations!! Congratulations on your litter!! Wow, I bet that mama was exhausted after having all of them! How long did it take for her to have all of them? How is Lilah doing now? She deserves a good pampering!

She seems to be doing really well. I mixed up some of the Whelping Pudding earlier and gave her some of that...which she LOVED! And yeah, she's getting lots of extra pampering and loving! | |
