Well, this is what I have, and other people may add in their opinions.
Whelping box
Hemostat
scissors
washclothes-I rub and clean pups with these
bulb syringe-if you need to suction pups at all
scale
Karo syrup-if pups are real weak you can give them drop of this. I actually never had to do this. Same for mother dog.
notebook-I write down weight, time of birth, sex, and any distingushing marks
unwaxed dental floss/thread
bag to throw placentas away (make sure you count them)
newspapers (i line the box with tons of layers, and then take the dirty ones out as needed.)
heating pad
bowl for water for mama
I can't think of anything else. I don't actually have all my stuff together yet, but that is what I have/used last time. I feel like I am forgetting something, but don't know what. If I think of anything else, i'll repost.
