We had a counter full of supplies when Trixie delivered...something for every possibility, although the only time we had to intervene was to cut the cords when she didn't. Just a quick list of what we had incase: child scissors (cutting cords), alcohol (sterilize scissors), dental floss (tying cords), iodine (end of cords after cut), artificial puppy milk (just incase she wouldn't nurse them), 'snot sucker,' (don't know the real name, sorry) and LOTS of clean towels. In case she has trouble, i.e, puppy is stuck, lots of pushing with no results, get her to the vet ASAP, better go ahead and look up the emergency vet #, just in case...better get on it, you are strapped for time to prepare! |
