My Yorkie Mom (Bambi) gave birth to one puppy monday night. She is having problems knowing what to do. From the time she gave birth it has been a struggle. She chose her own spot when she welped. On a quilt next to the couch. She had no signs of labor other than panting which she did anyways every time I come in the house. Bambi has a hard time when I am away and it has been worse scence she has been pregnant. I was home only 30 min. at the most when I figured out she had her baby.She came by me and I checked her but like always to see if anything was happening and suprize she was all ready done. When I found the baby he was cold, lathargic, and was having a really hard time breathing. I suctioned him wiped and rubed him just enough to get him going because I wanted to give him back to Bambi asap. She laid down in her welping box with my husband and I encouraging her. She licked him a little mainly on his face. He moved around alittle and even though he was by Bambi with all her hair he was not warming up. So I got out the heating pad and put it under Bambi's bedding (only covering half the welping box) In a little pit he started to warm up and move around. His breaathing was still not very good so I tried to get anything else out, which helped. We asisted Bambi in feeding him- he was having problems laching on. I did so every 1 1/2 hours or so that night. Tuesday morning I thought they were getting the hang of it untill she started to move the baby. So if I was not with her by her welping box she would leave and follow me. No matter wher I go she would jump up and came with me. She did this before she was preg. too but I never thought she would leave her baby so much and so upruptly. Then I realized she was not licking him that much. And hardly at all on his butt. So I started to stimulate him to go, which kind of worked. After she tried to move him again and I had to pry her mouth open to get him out. It seemed that she was trying to bring him to me? Anyways I called the vet to move my appt sooner. Bambi and baby checked out ok but babys tummy is very tight. Vet said to watch that and continue what I was doing and to monitor Bambi with the baby. So I have, but he has hardly gone poop. Just a little bit. He seems more uncomfortable and his tummy is bigger and Bambi still is not licking there to help him go. I have tried- dry, wet & warm paper towel. I do not know what to do. Do you thing the baby is constipated? How can you tell? If yes what should I do? And Bambi is trying to more baby even more- she tried to bring him on the couch by me just an hour ago. The baby also started to spit up? or like fome out his nose and mouth and I can here conjestion when he breaths. Any sagestions please! I do not know what to do anymore. Thanks for any help, thisandthat
