first thing to prepare is to make sure mom is well fed 3 times a day while pregnant lots of water..I have 2 dogs that get really picky in the first trimester and have to find something they cant refuse.. usually cook them chicken ..I have delivered over 30 litters and there is very few puppies I do not help with delivery . I usually get them clean make sure mucus is clear from nose and throat them get them suckling on mom asap soon as they latch on mom takes over. I like to get x-rays about 3 day before delivery so I know how many and to foresee any problems its usually around 200 dollars but it so worth it for piece of mind. |
