Wow... that was so interesting... I wish I could see a live birth.. |
gloves Puppies live in a bacteria filled environment for 9 weeks before birth...that is why they are born with sealed eyes to prevent infections..the canine womb is no where near as sterile as the human womb...so latex glove are a moot point IMO....BUT I would always advise washing your hands in cold water after whelping...hot water won't get the green discharge off..it seems to make it worse... |

I think that ad long as you wash your hands frequently during the birth it is ok to not wear gloves. If you can't stand getting a little "mess" on you, you aren't going to like breeding, LOL |
As for the pics, it seems really clean! I always change the blsnkets after every other pup, yet I can't keep it that clean, haha. |
Thanks, you guys I am glad you enjoyed those pix. I kinda knew you would when I stumbled upon them... :p Anyways I always wear gloves when delivering the pups, to protect her and me. I assist her with everything, I wouldnt imagine leaving her alone to deliver them alone. :) Quote:
But thats just my opinion.:thumbup: |
hands You DO NOT want to see or hear what I have picked up in my bare hands over the years I have bred and raised Yorkies...my MD told me recently that I have a really good immune system...I say a daily dose of germs is good for you..LOL Nothing wrong with gloves if you want to use them.. Those are really good photo's and very helpful to the novice..thanks for posting. |
I was at the Maltese site it was very interesting I have never experienced whelping. I seems to be so much work and very much worth it. |
this is a great website to check out, thank you so much for sharing!!:) |
