Hello everyone
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Bird had her babies and I had trouble making my way back to my thread!

Bird went to the vet due to haveing a seizure as stated above. They did blood work and the doc said her blood work is perfect he showed me ALL her levels are where they should be. This is good news for the babies but could be bad news for her furure! She could have epilepsy. He said it could be a fluke seizure and she won't be given medication in less she has another one in a eight week period!
So he takes her temp and says I should have pups within 24 hours!!! Almost a week later I'm getting ready to call the vet because now she is 1 day over due and showing NO signs! So the morning 6am (she is a day over and I'm waiting till 9am to call my vet) she jumps into her whelping box and I'm like that's weird. I can see her contracting but she isn't panting at all. I'm nervous but I keep calm and sit there. All of a sudden I look over and she is sitting there on this egg and I'm like, I lift her leg A PUPPY! She is looking at it like a alien came out of her so I break the membrane do everything I red on line and encourage her to lick it and she does and it was on from there! She did the rest on her own. No crying no panting she was sooo good!! 4 babies 1 girl and 3 boys!!!
It was so amazing! I'd love to do it again! I didn't know anything about puppy birth when I first stated but enjoy learning and enjoy the research. Bird got pegnant because she stoped bleeding and I thought that ment her heat was over but I learned a lesson and about the heat cycle! I never wanted her to get pregnant in fact I wanted to get her fixed I just kept putting it off. Because of the seizure I am still getting her fixed. But I am thinking about getting a breeding mentor and doing this breeding thing right!
I really like this site and will continue to use it. Hopefully I will learn how to post pics and videos too
By the way -- I NEED to mention bird is a yorkie and the dad is a yorkie poo and only 1 maybe 2 of the babies look yorkie in color (I won't know more till they grow of course) but isn't that weird huh. That's another reason why I wouldn't breed her again I don't have pedigree for her and want to breed to better the breed not concoct new breeds lol.
