I am trying to HELP the OP prepare herself for what MIGHT happen. I do not know her dog or it's temperament/training. She does not claim to be a "reputable breeder" with experience and she seems anxious and afraid. I never said she should leave the dog truly alone just watch her and see if she is doing what needs to be done, if not, then she should prepare herself to step in. She can weigh the pups after the mom finishes whelping. It is important to make sure that the weights are going up and not down. |
And I think you are wrong. She needs to be hands on and cut umbilical cords and such.
