The second placenta did not come out with the puppy...it was basicially sucked back in...we had VERY little cord to work with and the puppy came out breach and gasping. I worked on him for a while and he is now on the heating pad with his sister and they have both nursed.....Geoff just now got him to nurse and he has stopped gasping. The girl has only nursed for a few minutes but has stopped....is this okay? What about the placenta that went back in?
I CANNOT stop shaking
oh, wait,..geoff said she is pushing again. be back! |
Congrats on the two new babies!!
Don't worry about the placenta right now. If she doesn't pass it now, take her in later for an oxytocin shot, it will clean her out. Harmony didn't pass any of her placentas when she had her two pups. I had very little cord to work with as well. We took in her later for the shot and it did the trick.
They usually don't nurse a whole lot when first born.
