PS..you can also massage the belly and draw it out like sauage from a casing...I have over 35 yrs of breeding experience and would never suggest anything all breeders do unless is safe..IMO Wednesday is too long for an after whelping check..24 hrs tops. |
That's what I do too. I just use a very gentle touch and it comes right out.
