You can expect, even under the best of circumstances, to tear open sacs, cut cords and clear the pups airways. Many pups are born breach and a small girl will have a harder time delivering them. Also, you can expect to have a pup born with very little cord showing and it can be difficult to cut in that case. What you'll have is a pup hanging just outside the Mom...in its sac...with Mom trying to get back there and you have to deal with the sac and cord with all this going on. There are many other things but what I just described would not be considered complications but a fairly normal whelp.
You haven't yet responded as to whether you took her in for an x-ray to see how many and how large the pups are. With a small girl, it would not be unusual for her to need a c-section due to the size of the pups.
With your lack of experience and lack of preparation, your girl would be best served to have her pups delivered by your vet. You will need advice once the pups are born and anyone here will be glad to help you. For the safety of your girl and her pups, please just let the vet handle the delivery. You need to know the signs of labor so you'll know when to bring her in but attempting this delivery on your own could have disastrous consequences.
Best of luck and please keep us updated. |
