It is disconcerting when a post such as this comes along, with no indication of your having sought vet care and advice,or sought advice from your mentor.
While many of our experienced breeders here are very helpful, they cannot and will not substitute for an experienced vet's advice. It would be best to first address your whelping questions to your mentor and or vet, and go over what you will need and expect to experience as labour begins, and progresses.
I hope for a safe whelp for Delihah, and healthy puppies. |
well worded !!
I'm not a breeder but have read many many threads about it - since this is your first time I'd take everyone's advise and see your vet -
there's been some pretty sad stories lately with breeding problems and I'd hate to see this happen to you and your mom dog. I realize lots and lots of people don't have 'mentors' but you do have a vet you can see and if it were me - that's the first place I'd start -
it's different breeding small breeds than it is with the larger ones. Too many things can go drastically wrong so it's better to be on the safe side
good luck
