 Nessie's first (and probably last!) litter is almost here!
Hello all!
This is my first post to Yorkie Talk and I want to say that I feel blessed to have found this site! My 2 year old Yorkie, Nessie, is due to have her babies within the week and the advice I have found on this site has been invaluable. I feel much more prepared now and hopefully can be a good midwife to my girl.
Today is her 57th day, so I opted to have the vet E-Ray her to rule out any obvious issues. Imagine my surprise, (and the vet's) when we discovered than she is definately carrying 7 (yes SEVEN) pups! I must admit, it un-nerved me to hear this. She only weighed 5 lbs 14 oz. when she was bred so needless to say, she looks like she swallowed a cantaloupe and she still has a week to go.
Please keep her in your thoughts and if any of you have any advice or experience with large litters you would like to share, I would welcome it!
Thanks All! |
