I have a heating pad in the whelping box for tonight . I had it in the other end of the box. she went right to it at about 11pm and stretched out over it. she also tried to tear up the bedding and cover up the pups. she had left the whelping box and jumped into a clothes basket, and waited till I changed the towel I had in her box and then she went back into it. she ate at least 3 tablespoons of cottage cheese and took 1/2 of the calcium tabs. ate 4 small bowels of food. She had 2 retained placentas till 8pm and 10pm this evening . she had her first pup at 7:14am and the last at 10:40 am. I am going to turn off the heating pad and turn on a small fan heater to blow at the top of the whelping box. I don;t think she has anything coming out of her tits. I haved tried to gently express them or milk them and I don't get a dribble of anything at all. |
