Spoke to Betty a bit ago, Baby was in the midst of whelping puppy # 3. Betty's concern was with puppy #2. Seemed to be panting and tongue hanging out. I asked if she had any gauze and to use it clean out the pups mouth. Wrap the pup in a wash cloth and gently hold it her two hands, supporting the pups head and gently shake it down. The pup had cried, but without being there to really see what was going on. My guess was it's mouth needed to be cleared out and fluids brought up by the shake down. She said the puppy was breathing easier. Her worry was that the pup wouldn't make it. I calmed her nerves and gave her my standard talk of not all pups survive and though we do everything we can at times pups are just not well enough to survive. Her main concern right now was with her Baby Girl.
So far, so good.
