The breeder that bred Lola is going to be out of town when she is supposed to have her pups, but she told me that there is another breeder in my area and she was going to see if she couldd help if needed. I could call my vet.
I have been watching videos and my breeder told went over it with me I just want have it down so I do not forget. If everything goes well this is what I got.
1) pup comes out.
2)break open the sack and keep it away from the mouth.
3) Wipe its face,
4)clear out any mucas from its nose and mouth with a baby susker.
5)this is where I'm not sure do I tie the cord? or stimulate it first. let me know if I am right and the rest.
If a pup is not out within an hour is that when I worry?
Thanks again, Christina
BYW she has 2 weeks. |
Just my opinion...I think its important to let mom do the work and you oversee...mom can break the sak herself...with that said...I did it for Zoe
but only because I was a nervous wreck..in the end I did everything textbook that I had researched and studied...tied the cord...Zoe took it off and chewed it down to where she knew it should be..just like humans, they have their maternal instincts as well. As long as everyone is doing well..I say let mom do as much as possible..except to eat that nasty placenta
