We had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and he said the pups were healthy. She is actually the biggest in her line for several generations and all her littermates are 4-5 lbs. Daddy comes from a line of teacups for several generations. Keeping my fingers crossed for easy deliveries, but prepared to watch for complications.
Her vet advised letting her eat every other placenta and keeping track of the number expelled.
I plan on cutting the umbilical cords myself to be safe. I have raised and whelped toy poodles in the past, but this is my first Yorkie litter and afraid for any chance of her chewing them too close and hurting the baby.
First litter....afraid I'm in for a long day! But very excited! |
