 We're having our babies soon too!
We have been reading & re-reading this post as we pretty much have the same story - timing wise. My Sam n Samantha first got together on Dec 15th and it lasted a week. Needless to say, she got pregnant & we are expecting 3 babies, according to the xray we had on Feb 3rd. We do have a lot of questions and it seems that most of them were answered already by similar questions from other YT members, so we will not ask them again. We do have some concerns though as we somehow broke the big no-no on breeding. We did not intend it to happen this soon, but it already happened. So for now, we just have to follow the flow. Samantha is now a 14 month old9 lbs healthy girl (according to the vet) while Sam is a 5 lb boy who will turn 2 in April (also healthy). We understand they are still too young to breed. We are not breeding for business purposes, all our babies will be staying within our family. Needless to say, our family members are fighting over the unborned puppies right now. So anyway, we took a half day off work today as it seems like Samantha is ready to whelp. We may need help & support, thus this long & winded post is here. We called our vet for heads up, she said we should be fine on our own but we insisted on getting an emergency # as their hospital is closed at 6pm today. But. considering that it's valentines today, she might have a date or something, and may not want to answer if we call. We are ready wth the supplies, thank you for all those who contributed to the list. Thank you also for the enormous amount of information we have gathered here. Wish us luck! |
