Hello everybody.....
Last night was just horrible. My husband and I went out to have drinks with a friend turning 40. Everything was fine. We came home early because I didn't like leaving Mae home since it was close to her day. My Mae was due on the 18th. I still had over a week to go.........I came home and she was acting normal.... my hubby and I got pizza and was going to snuggle in bed and watch a movie and eat pizza. I took Mae up with us and again.... normal, normal, normal. This is her 3rd litter... she has done this before.....no problem.... ALL on time. So anyway..... we were starting the movie and Mae was right next to me...... I look down cause I hear her chewing on something and I see a baby in her mouth!!!!!!! Oh my god.... she was trying to break the sack.... I took it from her and starting working on him and he was still. He didn't look alive coming out and I knew with the date.... it was tooooo soon. So I assumed the other 2 were going to be still as well. She whelped the next within minutes without problems.... and I grabbed her and took her to the bathroon..... she was moving so I tied and cut and took her mucous out..... and I gave her back to mom and the next one was here too and I did the same....... the last 2 girls are alive. I spent the night nursing every hour and kept them warm. They look very undeveloped and I know they may not survive. But they lasted through the night and are still very strong.
I've never delivered puppies this early and I don't know wht this happened. I guess it's life.... but has any breeders bred this early? And have they survived? Is there something special I should do? They seem to cry a lot more than a normal litter.
Any advice or suggestions would be apprieciated!
