You should have no trouble with a feet first breech. Did the Xrays show that the puppies are pretty much the same size? Bigguns can be a little trouble.
I ALWAYS get a new tube of K-Y jelly or similar product. If the canal feels dry and you have been working to deliver the baby. just squirt about an inch of the CLEAN lubricant into the canal. That might help the puppy to slide out. I have had a big boy-last litter- tat I had to decide on letting the puppy suffocate on the way to the ER or well, injure or kill it myself getting it out. I prayed, squirted the lub in, and each time the mom pushed, I pushed the cervix back and gently rotated and pulled. Finally had to wake hubby up to hold mom and finally I got that baby out. As Pat said, there is gonna be more fluid inside the puppy so suction the puppy's mouth with an ear syringe. Then holding it firmly in a dry washcloth, swing puppy from head level down but do not jerk,,,make it a continuous move so you don't injure the puppy. Gawsh, I wish I were there to help. Your vet might be able to show you how to do an acupuncture needle in the upper lip to help stimulate breathing. Learn to do mouth-to-mouth to expand those little lungs and get a great big squeal.. What a wonderous sound that is.
GOOD LUCK!!!!! |
