Remember Tara...............stay calm.......can't stress that enough.

If you have time after the first pup is born & cleaned up, you can weigh the pups.....but it is not something that needs to be done immediately. Most importantly is to keep the pups warm once they are cleaned up and let them suckle from mom inbetween births.
When mom starts to have contractions for the second and other pups, take the first pup & put it another small box on warm towels or towels with a heating pad (on the lowest setting) UNDERNEATH the towels.
