You need to have a vet available. Things can happen. I could go on and on here. Size of male, size of female's ancestors (not just her parents). Pregnant Yorkie's age. Anyway, don't want to scare you to death, but encourage you to be ready.
You can prepare a simple whelping box from a oblong plastic storage bin with something absorbent in the bottom and then the whole thing slipped inside a pillow slip. this creates a hammock type whelp area so mother can't stratch things around and cover up puppies or puppies can't wiggle and get lost in things. Change often.
Some use a heating pad on low setting, i prefer hanging lamp with low watt bulb suspended safe distance for a few days. use a thermometer to keep track so won't get too hot.
Good luck. |
