I don't see how he was breathing..Heck my leg is already asleep... I do not plan on letting Stewie near the pups for several weeks.. I will keep him out of the xpen and the puppies in. I just checked it a few minutes ago and the heating pad is perfect.. I cannot wait until they come.. I printed off some info to have handy but can anyone tell me what I will most likely need.. I have a towel for cleaning the babies up and a scale and milk with a dropper and scissors to cut the cord if I need to...what else am I missing? When do you bathe the puppies for the first time... |
Yes, definately the bulb syringe is most important,cord clamp, scissors, towels, blankets,scales...water for Mom to drink...after pup is born, make sure immediately that the sac comes off...if mom is not real agressive about chewing it off quickly, don't hesitate, take it off and suction the mouth out 2-3 time... I'm such a hands on person (from labor and del. nursing of skin babies) I always want to jump in there and do it all, like cutting the cord, drying the pup off and then putting it right on a teet, Watch the Mom to make sure she doesn't obsess about chewing that cord down too short..some of them do and they (pup) can bleed out....I hope this doesn't scare you too much...kinda alot to remember I know...your going to do fine!
