I will tell you my Bella who just had babies on the 29th is also very small 4.7 pounds per preg and 5.11 the last week of preg, She did not have to have a c-section, Now the 1st one was breech and did become stuck and did not make it. Witch is why its best for your dog to deliver even on her own at the vets, if you have not delived pups before and usally small yorkies need help with the 1st pup, My Bella did have two more little girls 3oz each on her own without any help from the vet, So they can have them even if there small but its best for the vet to do it, When Bellas 1st pup came out I was so scared when it became stuck, I couldnt get it out and they vet was 10 mins away, Off to vet we went, with half of a fetus stuck in my baby, Not a good feeling, I really reccomend if you have not whelped before, Witch I had, so I thought I new what to do. (boy did she fool me,)
Then when you see labor get her in fast, Bella started Labor at 12:30 pm and at 1:00 pm only 30 mins from the 1st signs of labor she was having her 1st baby!
puppies 005.JPG She gave no per signs of labor, no digging,nesting,panting, she eat,drank, She did go to her box in the closet and she yelped out and I new it was time, She cryed a lot, Her temp did drop a few times like yours has been doing without labor but two days before it went to 98.7 and did not go back up,When the temp stays down for a day pups are on there way! If the temp gos down then back up thats a flock, Like our temp changes threw the day depending on blood-pressure,activity,if were sleeping, The best check times are mornings 1 hr after the bitch wakes up, and evening. good luck please feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to, Our pets need more people like you on there side
