I took your advice and let her only eat one placenta... After my last e-mail to you I went to get my keys and out the door. Thought I better check on Daisy one more time before I go. Glad I did. She was pushing and had her first pup at 8:36 and had her what I assume to be her last at 10:34. She did great I did every thing I could that she would allow. After I tied with floss (no time to get hemostats) and cut it. She was still wanting to chew the cord i did discourge that and she was fine with it. She has done her evening duties and back to her crate with her new little family. Oh she had 2 strapping gentelmen and 2 dazzling young ladies! The order born with weights (B)5.2, (B)6.0, (G)6.0, & (G)4.5
Night and thanks again for your help

Dopram is also from your vet, and it is used to help get puppies breathing if you have one that is gasping and would otherwise fade quickly. it is a shot given under the tongue.
My best piece of advise is don't let the bitch do everything herself, ASSIST as much as she will let you. |
