We are having our first litter... I have read so much here and in books over the last couple of years, and now it is time for us to have our first litter! We went through alot with the sick Yorkie from Dixie Pups, and then I thought that Princess was going to deliver at the same time as me after an accidental mating when I was 8 months pregnant, (it turned out to be a false pregnancy), and now it is time. We took her to the Dr. today on day 56 and the Dr. thinks she may have 5 pups in there, and one is in the birth canal. She weighed just over 6 lbs before pg and now weighs close to 11 lbs. She has gotten so big! The male is just over 4 lbs, so the puppies shouldn't be too big for her. I am reading up on everything and getting my supplies ready. If there is any advice from all of you experienced breeders, I would love to have it. I have read as much as I can, and I think I am ready. We have an E.R. Vet on call, and taking temps. daily. Thank you all for the advice you have given others, that has taught me so much and for being there for me when my little 1 lb Yorkie passed away of Giardia despite all of my efforts to bottle feed, baby food feed, and everything else you all advised me to do. I hope you will be here for me like you have for so many others. I hope that some day I will be able to help others like you have all helped me!
Thank you,
