Now I do have one question....Is it ok to touch the pups? or should we wait...Can I move the mamma to make sure all of the pups are out? she is curled up taking care of 2 of them, she was suppose to have 3 but I didn't know if it was ok to move everything around....
I tried to call her to her potty pad to see if she would get up to go potty and she wouldn't....   |
Yes - handle the babies , handle her , let her know that you are in charge - if not and you need to take care of one you may have a problem - all of my girls have me by their side when they whelp and most puppies i handle befor the mom gets them dry - don't be bashful or reticient- get in there and help her - take her out to potty, straighten her blankets and if you were sure she was to have 3 and there isn't three , you better have your vet xray to see if she is still retaining one and he can get her labor started and have the other baby - watch close cause if she has one in there and it dies she will get infection and you will lose her also - check her out and good luck
Congratulations on first babies , i still remember my first Yorkie babies almost 25 years ago- seems like yesterday
watch her carefully for the next few hours and days untill you are sure every thing is ok - also don't for get tail docking /dew claw removal at 3 to 5 days of age - thats a good time to have your vet check mama over if there is no problem before .
Keep us posted and lets see pics
