I think I have more family than puppies.
I am soooo excited I can hardly wait! What is everyone doing to prepare? So far I have the whelping box with heating pad which she doesnt care about at all, the whelping supplies, emergency phone numbers on speed dial including after hours vet at UCD, I have my supplies for whelping pudding, beef liver for fading puppies (that I hope to not have). I have copied all "emergency procedures" incase I forget what I have learned. Oh and I have a vet appointment for xrays. Is there anything I am missing? She eats Chicken and rice mixed with Chicken Soup for the Puppies Soul for dinner, dry kibble for lunch and 1/4 cup cottage cheese with peaches for breakfast.
Oh and any ideas on how do I keep her from jumping??? This is IMPOSSIBLE! There is myself, my 18 year old son, and my boyfriend trying to keep her from jumping but she is determined to jump especially when we arrive home until we can get her.
I hope not to have to ask for emergency advice when the time comes BUT I feel like we are in very good hands with all the wonderful folks here! |
1/4 cup cottage cheese is too much to be given every day. IMO
I offer no calcium supplements to mine before delivery .
I have had eclampsia before and never want it again.
Proper postition for puppies is breech and head first ,breech is very common position for puppies
Good luck to all the new mommas to be
