okay, ladies. First off you will find that a lot of breeders buy "stuff' they don't even use. If you can buy an x-pen. This is where you will let your mama have her babies and have room when they get big enough to toddle around and mama can't get away from them. next, go to Walmart and purchase one of those under bed storage Rubbermaid containers. this will be your whelping box. i set mine in the corner of the x-pen. i put mama in the x-pen about a week before babies are due. she will get in the plastic box when she is ready. Put some old towels in the plastic box. I use Pish Pads and these are great for keeping mama nad newborns dry but mine have worn out so this time I will use washable peepads. Now, if you choose to use it, while you are walmart, get a bottle of iodine for the cords and also some dental floss to tie the cords off. i use neither but have it on hand. Also at walmart buy a pair of childs scisssors to cut the cors with. Now, go to a medical supply store or a nurse uniform stoe and buy you a pair of relatively small hemostats. Actually buy two pair. you might need them. oh, back to walmart, go to the baby dept and buy some unscented baby wipes and one of those little baby size blue nasal suction bulbs, You might want to pick up a cheap stehescope at the medical supply placee but you don't really need it. Now go to Office Supply and buy a small digital postage scale that weighs in lbs, oz and grams to weigh your babies when they are born. have plenty of old washclothes and towels available also. i keep all mine in one place. if I think of anything else, I will come back. Walmart, office supply and medical supply. Got it!!!
Or you can go for the really fancy stuff and order online and pay huge shipping charges.
Discount Pet Supplies, Pet Supply, Online Pet Supplies is a good place to buy whelping supplies. if you order, make sure you get some NutriDrops for puppies.
