| **BREEDERS- We're in labor*** So momma is in labor, shes had 3 of her 5 puppies... things have been ok, she hasnt opened any of the sacs, we've had to help with everything. Puppy #2 had a green placenta & when wiped down he was covered in green, but hes breathing fine, eating & cuddled with his sisters... puppy #3 didnt have a placenta & shes was bleeding pretty heavy & now its died down... but its been about 35-40 mins already since last puppy & no contractions or labor... suggestion, advice... anything please!!!! I am a lil bit of a nervous wreck right now but im doing ok & just want to make sure that everything is normal... all advice is welcome PLEASE! |

| I spoke to my ER vet here & they told me that things should be ok... as long as her breathing is ok, its ok to go a little while without any labor... I will keep everyone updated. But anymore info will be welcomed. |

| I know nothing about breeding so am no help there, but wanted to say I'll be praying for it all to go well for you. Good luck. It is so late at night, there aren't many people on the board hear to respond, but my thoughts are with you. (Gee and a full moon too)

| I have such a difficult time replying to any thread. I'm typing & the nextthing I know it gets sent without making any sense. So I am tring again. First things first...always make sure you (the midwife) is comfortable. You need to stay relaxed, have a gd book, magazine, tv so that you stay comfortable. Next make sure you have all your first aid at hand, then rarely do you need it. The last two litters I have had were slow, 2 hr apart between the pups. Unfortunately her last pup was between 3-4hr apart & that was a bit too long. When that puppy arrived I had to work to get him breathing. CPR for approx 3-5 min. & then I remembered I had heard that oxygen can make the difference. One of the breeders I bought a bitch from gave me that advice. It wasn't until that moment I remembered &got my husband to get it going. What a difference!! I really thought we had lost that pup but after 5 min on. Oxygen the pup completely revived & I couldn't tell the difference from the others. Good luck, I'll be praying. Most importance is for you to relax. Keep us posted! |

| Congrats Sounds like thing are going well. Just make sure all placenta's are accounted for if not you will need to get your girl in to the vets today for a clean out shot. |

| It's already been two hours since last puppy. If another couple hours pass with no last baby then I would take her to the vet. She might need some assistance. Congratulations! |

| Hi guys... so, so far we are doing OK... momma went to the vet & did an xray, puppy is totally stretched out inside of momma, so we dont knw what that could mean- Good or Bad- they checked her calcium before being able to give her the injection to induce & that came back good, so they gave her the injection at around 9am, we are now waiting to see if she finally pushes the puppy out, if not I have to rush her to another vet to do the c-section. Another good thing is while we were at the vet waiting for the doctor, the techs were able to help me get the puppies to attach & they did which also helped with contractions... Thank you all for the prayers & I know YT prayers are strong so please keep praying, I know momma is out of the woods & safe, now just for this puppy to come out alive. Thank you all for all the support!!! I will update a little later, thanks. |
