| *Puppy watch* i think! Troy is panting, and restless. she keeps walking around the living room then going back to her box. i can tell she really wants to go to my room cause she stands at the end of the hall looking at my door her temp is 99.0. (9pm) she won't sit or lay. she didn't eat anything really today. she is growning and her belly is rock hard... are we on puppy watch???

| Hi Sounds Like they are Coming.... I am no breeder but I found this on Google... http://www.2ndchance.info/caninelaborstages.htm Stage Two of Labor: During the second stage of labor uterine contractions begin in force. As this stage progresses the placental water sacks break and a straw-colored fluid is passed. Placentas are expelled after each puppy or sporadically during labor. Pups usually appear every half-hour or so after ten to thirty minutes of forceful straining. As the pups deliver, the mother will lick the puppy clean and bite off the umbilical cord. It is important to let the mother do this, if she will, because through this process she bonds with her puppies and learns to recognize them as her own. The rough licking of the mother stimulates the puppies to breathe and improves their circulation. The mother will probably eat some of the afterbirths. If the bitch does not tear away the sac and lick the pups to stimulate respiration, the owner should tear the sac open, clear all fluid away from the pup's nose and mouth, and vigorously rub the pup to stimulate breathing. It is not uncommon, however, for the mother to take rests during labor and up to four hours can pass between some puppies. If more than four hours have passed without a puppy and you are certain more puppies are present take the dog to a veterinary hospital. Also seek assistance if the mother strains forcefully for over an hour without producing another pup. If you see the rear legs of a puppy protruding from the dog’s vagina you can assist the mother by gently pulling the puppy in a downward and rearward arcing motion. You must do this very gently because puppies are fragile and easily hurt. It is normal for many puppies to be born rear feet first or breach. When a mother dog is stuck in incomplete labor the first thing I do is administer oxytocin and calcium to stimulate uterine contractions. If the puppies are too big to pass through the birth canal or the oxytocin fails to induce successful labor, I perform a cesarean section on the dog. |

| Try not to let her get out of the box, if one starts coming you definitely want her to be in there. She's definitely having contractions, and they don't ALWAYS throw their head back when they have them. Throwing up usually happens right before the puppies start coming. Keep watching her VERY closely. Have you seen a water sack? Try to keep her laying down as much as you can, even if you have to keep rubbing her to keep her calm. After she has a contraction lift up her leg and see if there's a bubble crowning. PM me if you need me! |
