Hi my name is Terri and I am new to this site. Well in the sense I've just joined but I read stuff on here all the time. I am the mother to 2 Yorkies Pepper (male) and Basil (female). Basil is pregnant she is 60days and almost 48hrs ago she started leaking a clear liquid about 12 hrs ago she stopped eatting. Her temperature dropped but only to 99 degrees. She pee's a lot now and my husband who has had several litters from a child says she is fine I'm freaking out! The vet said there are 2pups in there. Basil looks sad but she isn't making any noises, does anyone have any advice?

You should post this in the Breeder section they will help you and good luck with the whelping

Hi and welcome

I'm sorry but I'm not a breeder but have been reading and learning here for quite a while. It sounds like she's getting ready to whelp soon now. Please read all you can, and repost this in the Breeder Talk section. One site that is extremely good is Dog Breeding and Canine Reproduction by Debbie Jensen. Dog Breeding and Whelping guide for dog breeders.

Good luck and please do come back and tell us how everyone is doing

Generally a discharge means that labor is going to begin within the next 24 hours. If it does not and she is still having discharge get her to the vet.

The Breeder came over to assist me and she said something was wrong, we took Basil to the Vet and she is having a C-section and it looks like 3 pups now. We do not know if her pups will make it yet

Glad you have someone with you to help you through this. Keeping Basil in my thoughts. Let us know how you make out.

YorkieSquared · 04-15-2012, 12:42 PM

Basil is doing fine one of the pups passed, but the other two are doing good one of the pups is in excellent health the other one is breathing but is in critical shape. Please keep us in your prayers and I will keep everyone posted. Oh and I went ahead and let them spay Basil since she has a difficult labor.

gracielove · 04-15-2012, 01:07 PM

I'm so glad you had her spayed and also very happy you had someone to help you. C-sections can be very difficult on the puppies because of the anesthetic getting into their system. Hope they had someone there for just the puppies.

Jacksmom052709 · 04-15-2012, 01:10 PM

So sorry to hear of the one puppy passing and I am glad that you were able to get Basil to the vet. I will say prayers for you and Basil and her babies. And by the way, welcome to YT.

Yorkiemom1 · 04-15-2012, 01:42 PM

Thank goodness the breeder came and recognized a problem...that probably saved Basil's life. Prayers going up for the babies and Basil as well....

YorkieSquared · 04-15-2012, 04:18 PM

Thanks! It just goes to show you anything can go wrong, I read the books, talked to Vet, had the test ran both dogs are AKC registered and come from champion blood lines, had my whelping kit and a the breeder I purchased Basil from willing to assist me! I will be fixing all my pets from now on! It's been stressful and I worried too much!

YorkieSquared · 04-15-2012, 08:16 PM

Basil will not let the puppies latch on to feed they are asking us to put them down or the assistant asked us to sign over our rights and she will take them home and feed them but than they are her dogs! I want to keep my pups and that seems unethical can someone help please?

Rescuemomma · 04-15-2012, 08:30 PM

Sometimes it takes a couple days especially for a new mom that's had a c-section. Do you have someone who can teach you to tube and/or bottle feed? It has to be done every 3 hrs at least around the clock for a newborn and they need to be kept very warm - will Basil's breeder help you? Where are you located?
