I don't know a whole lot but I am more than happy to share anything that I do know with you. Just let me know if I can help in any way.

Thanks for looking out! I was going to do xrays this past week but since most of the ladies recommended to wait until the 53-55th day, I made the appointment for Monday (day 55). So we'll know for sure how many puppies. One thing though is I got to hear the heartbeats this afternoon, I could swear I heard about 4 heartbeats, so now we just need to confirm on Monday. This is her 1st litter, & depending on how many puppies she has this may be her last.
I have always loved dogs & wanted to become a breeder & hope to be starting now, but I am also looking into her health before anything else. I know most of these women are very passionate in the breeding business but I always say that they should remember they started off like me once, & every good breeder has to start somewhere. So lets see!
I think I mentioned in my previous post that I was working? Well, due to some situation beyond my control I am no longer working & I am glad- that way I can dedicate all my time to her. & Thank god I have been saving since I bred her so I am good to go financially. Other than that she is doing amazing & puppies seem to be a happy bunch in her belly. I started to take her temp once a day starting 2 nights ago, & Ive seen a slight drop, but nothing to be worried about.
Sara let me ask you... I read you gave mama nutri-cal after she came home from the c-section, is it safe to give to her? Did the vet say anything? B/c shortly after is when she had her eclampsia? I have ice cream ready to go, bought the milk replacers... I have a couple more things to buy & I am good to go, what else can you suggest?
