 whelping
I have never suctioned a puppy. I do shake it down a few times and clear the lungs, mom licks and gets them crying and that is good for the lungs.
Alot depends on the pup...the first pup to arrive can take longer to be birthed, especially with a first litter. It may need more help..it can be breach and need more help to breathe. Swinging the pup downward and drawing the fliud out works better then a syringe to me. |
