[B]Have Had Two Litters With Same Female And She Has Always Done Great!

I have had two litters with Lil'Bit and as I have posted before with her first litter it was hard but quick..She delivered 4 pups in 10 minutes

...Some say I am lying...but I am not...It was strange to me too! There was very little of a mess to clean up and she did great through it all...NOW...

With this second litter it was a whole different story...She had her pups the 3rd. of January. She started labor about 9:05 a.m. and by 10:15 she had had all her pups...(2) girls and (1) boy. As she was contracted I gently helped her push down a little..this because it looked like she was having a hard time pushing...and then out came the little one each time. She only rested a little in between each birth...but she never looked distressed at all.
Since as I posted before we weren't sure of how many she was going to have because the sonogram showed two heart beats but the xray showed one...It was very confusing...but..I knew she had three in there. After the second one I felt around on the outside of her and did feel a third one so I helped her with that.
The mess this time was alot more..don't know why but it just was.

The furbabies were alot smaller than her first litter although she herself was larger this time...most likely just because the way the babies were laying I quess. These little ones are so small..(1) girl is tiny (1)girl is medium as I call it and the little boy is tiny.
Last time all the boys were pretty big...at 10 weeks the boys were 3.3 and 3.4 pounds but the little girl stayed pretty small. I think this litter all of them are going to stay small.

My Bitty (as I call her) is such a good mother

..but..I have a hard time getting her to go outside to potty.

..she just doesn't want to leave her babies for anything! She was like that last time. She lets people look at them and hold them with no objection but her mate Pismo ..she won't allow him near them till they have their eyes open and hobbling around some. He just looks in the door and she starts growing at him

...she is very protective of them.

Well that's it...I hope I helped someone on the way to having a litter!
I have to say in conclusion...Don't take having litters lightly...They are a resonsibility...You need to be responsible...For Mom, Dad and of course The Little Ones.
