Make sure your mom is cut down before delivery, puppies have been known to strangle in their mother's coats.
Once my mother's temp has dropped and has stayed down for 12 hours, I usually bath mom using a medicated bath
Yep! and it just starts with delivery portion. Get plenty of rest yourself, cause it just starts with the whelping. Watching, weighing pups, taking temps, making sure each nipple is nursed on and puppies are getting enough, puppies aren't getting chilled. Making sure mom isn't upset or stressed, keeping her and babies confined and away from other dogs. Taking mom out to potty, making sure her nipples are cleaned.
I strongly suggest that the mom be taken to the vet for an Posterior Oxytocin Pituitary (POP) shot 24-48 hours after delivery
Oh! Make sure that placenta's delivered too.
