I posted this in the main forum, someone suggested i also post here, as this is where all the breeders 'hang out'
I have just gotten my first
[COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]yorkie[/COLOR][/COLOR], she was living with a male and the people i got her from had tried unsuccessfully to breed her for about 2 years.
Well, i believe shes pregnant now! They said they had been mating for a few weeks last month (they never suspected that shed get pg) and I suspect shes about 4 weeks along.
She has a vet appointment this evening, but holy smoke i have never had a
[COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]pregnant [COLOR=green ! important]dog[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] let alone help birth a litter. I'm not the sort who loses her cool LOL so i think i can handle it but im just afraid of doing the wrong thing.
I have googled it and watched plenty of youtube videos. I have also read alot here but i would like as much info as i can get my hands on.
Does anyone know of any good websites, books, or have any advice? i still have so many questions.
(how many pups are in there? can i tell ahead of time? do i have to clean their airways or cut umbilical cords? should i have a crate that confines her in with the pups if she isnt a good mother?)
** I noticed that some of you weigh your puppies twice a day to make sure they're gaining? what do you use to do that?
