| Off the top of my head alcohol with hemostats soaking in it, heating pad, towels, garbage can, flash light, lamp, gloves, leash, laundry basket lined with sheets/towels in case a trip to vet is necessary, purse, car keys, phone, vet and emergency vet numbers, pad and pencil, diet coke, camera, scale (I use a gram scale), suction bulb, nutrical, betadine, a pick me up for mom (vanilla ice cream, broth, whelping pudding, etc). I have seen lists of kits online that might be good to use.

| This karo syrup...... I have what they call light is is clear in color but what I am not sure about is on the bottom of the label in fine print is mentions with real vanilla. Is this the right one or are there other types ? Could you use something like the egg beaters for the yolk. I have seen egg yolk only. or is it best to use the yolk from an actual egg? And does anyone know how long this mixture will last in the refrig? Thanks |

| Nope the hardest part is when they're in labor and you're 2nd guessing everything, and praying that your girl doesn't experience any complications and hope you have enough knowledge to know when you're girl is in trouble, .

| I figured I will have to switch gears once she is in labor. It is funny how your instincts kick in. I have delivererd a horse two years ago but I knew about it from the start and had friend 1/2 a block away if I got into trouble, But I did it after many sleepless nights. This little girl is a bit more scary after reading about all the different things that can go wrong. I did get my vets cell phone number at least and his office is a 1/2 a block away and this forum has been a fantastic support system. I just don't have to many friends near by that have bred and espescially not small breeds. I have read a bunch on line and I have the book "The joy of breeding your own show dog". |

Whelped a few and assisted in a lot...each one is different. Larger breeds and I guess horses would be easier. At least you can gets some hands up there and get them into place.....these little girls, if they get into trouble, because a pup is in the canal cross wise or decide to travel up the horn, instead of down, , too big to pass through, or gets it chin caught on it's mother's pelvic bone...the only thing that you can do is get her to the vet for a C-section.
