| help help help, adopted a new dog now i have surprise puppies. Okay real quick back story My neighbor has a dog (a chi mix) that he keeps outside in the back yard and a dog he keeps inside. well i noticed that the one from outside getting thicker and her nipples swelling fearing she may be pregnant and knowing that the pups would not survive the cold i gave him a hundred bucks for her i had a vet appointment on tuesday cause of the holiday. so i could confirm she was pregnant and get prepared well i woke up this morning to a stuck puppy howling to get out because she tore his sack before he come. now the first puppy is a girl(pudgy) she is loud and seems fine the second puppy come fast(a girl)teeny and she was half the size and seemed to struggle to breath she is now moving a bit wiggling some and trying to nurse but mom does not seem interested in her and she still seems to be struggling to breath no squeak out of her yet. also one of her front feet is turned in is there anything i can do to try and help her. i have a heating pad i used to help her warm up and after that she did a bit better. I know how much you guys hate when people do this but i promise im trying to do the right thing the emergency vet is 30 min away and they said to wait until we thought the puppies wear all done before we tried to make the trip the said to wait and see on our tiny girl but if the is something i can do i want to try also me and the vet are on the phone every 30 min for updates and progress reports the third puppy(a girl) newbie is yelling and eating and seems fine

| I am sure someone with more birthing experience will be along shortly but in the mean time DO NOT leave her side until you think she's had all the pups as you may need to help her out by gently pulling out a pup and or removing the sac from the pup. |

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | Sounds like you are doing okay I would try to get the pup to nurse. Keep putting the nipple in her mouth.and if you have the vet on the phone she can give you the best advice. Good luck and look forward to pictures. This was a great thing you did for this dog

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | keep them WARM, do not feed a chilled pup, the room should be at least 75 degrees, let mama eat at least two placentas, it will help with milk production, rub the puppies with a small towel to help them keep dry, mama's licking stimulates the babies which is great, pm me if you have any questions that I might be able to help, I can send you my phone number in a pm if you want to talk..

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | no to tavel that young you NEED to keep them all next to mom to minimize stress... you separate them for a few minutes a day to let the runt feed only.. hugs |
