First..Kelly, do not retract what you said..some do not apply to a bitch owner, to anyone who does not plan to sell the litter, some are a bit silly, because we are talking about Yorkies, not a large breed..

Bama...all I can do is give my opinion as a "common sense" breeder..

1...unimportant to me. Knowing the amount of cells by the end of the first week is totally a non-issue..what in the heck could I do about too many cells..common sense

2... In this day and age of awareness, it is common sense not to adminster anything of this nature to a pregnant human or canine.

3...use reasonable common sense as with a human..why take any risks for a short 9 week period..

4...unimportant to me..when they implant changes nothing I do..just so they implant..and only Mother Nature controls that..common sense.

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ...totally a non-issue for me..I can not change a thing or correct it..common sense

10...interesting to hear a heart beat..as rule at 4 weeks with dopler..but I have had dozens of healthy litters and never even listened...if the vet or myself heard a problem with a pups heart..what can we do until after whelping...heck what can you do then..they are too small and young..pray to get them to 6 or 8 weeks so they are strong enough for whatever..many, many heart murmurs correct by 6 months, so most vet watch a minor murmur....common sense.

11...lochia is bleeding after whelping or birth..same with a human...goes through stages of color and amount..a breeder shoudl be able to recognize what is health lochia and what is not..

12...not important..what can I do if I knew a pup was missing toes..heck, I can not do anything even after whelping..it goes through life with a missing toe..common sense..a missing toe will not shorten a life, BUT I want the correct amount of everything!!!!

13...After whelping, I stop being concerned about the fetuses..then I am concerned for them as puppies..common sense

14 I do not see a need for for ultra sound, but that is my opinion..I want an xray and read by a pro... never used ultra sound.
