Well, we have 6 BEAUTIFUL babies!! Water broke at 6pm and the first one was born at 6:18. The next 2 came back to back at 6:45 and 6:50. At this point I was a little worried because none of the placentas came out. At 8:15 the next one was born with a wad of placentas right behind. She ate those before I could make sure there were 3 of them. An hour later at 9:13 we have our 5th bundle and I thought we were done...until I saw a knot in her side move. Sure enough at 10:08 we have another one!

Everything went smooth even though 3 of the puppies were breech, one sucked in fluid before I could grab him and Momma kept trying to continue to chew on the umbilical cords, making them bleed. I got the fluid out of the one and applied slight pressure to the cords she chewed to stop the bleeding. All in all she had an easy delivery...breech puppies even came out smoothly and fast.
Tired Gramma here, but very happy to have healthy babies. |
