Thank you jadecomputergal,
She's about 4lbs max, and the male is about 5lbs max.
I don't know what to do now... It's 3:30am here, and everyone's sleeping. I've been watching over her since 9pm. I think she was only carrying 2 pups, but she's still panting after giving birth to the second one. I felt her belly to see if there was another one, and I didn't feel anything. I just worried because she's still panting. Also, we took away the first one that didn't make it, and she seemed like she was looking for it. I left the second one on the warm pad in the room where she gave birth. She's been going to it and licking it, I'm guessing in hopes for it to be alive? She's been kinda protective of the room too. I kept the door closed to the room, and she tries to enter the room frequently. Should I take away the second pup that didn't make it? I don't want to go to sleep because I want to make sure she's ok. I've been giving her lots of water and taking her out to pee frequently.
She had such a struggle in my opinion when she was giving birth. Should I have not watched over her and just let her do her thing? I'm just second guessing everything that happened tonight because both puppies didn't make it... I know she's going to freak out when she realizes that both of her pups are not around. She's been really mean toward the male also. How long should I keep them seperated? I'm inexperienced, and the rest of my family know less than I do. I guess that plus the female being so young was a disaster waiting to happen. I'm not sure if I can even sleep tonight.
Sorry for the rant, but I really don't know what to do. I even thought about taking her earlier to an emergency vet. Should I take her to her usual vet tomorrow to check if everything is ok with her? Thanks again. |
