When I whelped Bella her first boy wasnt breathing, I aspirated then swung, got a labor breath at best I continued giving him mouth to mouth and swinging him as well as massaging his heart. I got a labor breath so I was determined to get this little man going and to my surprise about 15 mintues into it he reared his head and starting screaming at me! OK MOM I'm here!
If you get a labored breath within the first 5-6 minutes of birth you have hope, you may get "swimmers puppy" but in his case he was perfectly normal just a rough start welcoming the world!
