I would definatley assist. When the pup comes out, open the sak around the face first and mom will be licking...make sure she isn't getting at the cord while you suction the mouth FIRST, then the nostrils. Then I always take my thumbnail and sever the cord that way. That simulates the mother chewing and I never have them bleed. I do this a good inch from the pup.
Take her temp 3 times a day. Some dogs don't follow the "book" and don't even have a temp drop, so just watch her. How many times did she tie? She may not have taken on her first tie so she may really not be on day 63. |
