You need to be aware of all the signs of possible complications, including a stuck pup, retained placentas, infections and eclampsia. These dogs go down hill fast. An experienced mentor who can be there with you while your dog is whelping is INVALUABLE. The internet only goes so far. |
I didnt start research now.. i started 3 yrs ago when her father impregnated her mother who was my neighbor, if you dont know my story you shouldnt judge... anyhow i came on here for support, not to get bashed & be told all this negative experience, i helped my little girls mom give birth to 3 beautiful puppies & 3 weeks later had to bottle feed her bc momma didnt have more milk... thanks!!
