FYI...we all get nervous with expectant Moms. The more experienced I become, the more nervous I get. Every pregnancy and every whelp is different and you can't assume anything. It's a matter of prepare for the worst, pray for the best.
Best of luck to you. |
You are so right, it's bad enough with a small litter.
With large litters there is the worry of premature delivery, mother pooping out attempting to deliver the last couple and requiring a C-section anyway. Then making sure that she is eating well and babies aren't draining her of Calcium. So, your work is really cut out for you; starting with the whelp and for the next 12 weeks.
