Then I lined the pan with newspaperss which she promptly shredded up. Then her water broke and it was all wet and nasty ans she was standing up in it . i placed fresh papers in and she did the same thing again. I am thinking newspapers weren't such a good idea but what do you breeders use? I have two that will be coming in heat this month and next so I want to learn from my mistakes with Silk. Thanks |
I use piddle pads and have several lambs wool pads cut fit the whelping box ready. After each pup I put in a new pad. When all is done, I put in a clean piddle pad, a flat crate pad and pin a larger lambs wool pad in place.
