Still no babies!!!! I swear she's doing this on purpose just to see me sweat... I think she got her control issues from me...She wants to have them when she says it's time and that's that... Her temp has been low all day at 98.8-99.2... Not that it means anything....But look at these pictures I took.. I was making Kallie a whelping box to put into her xpen so that she can have them in the box and get out when she wants and they cannot get out. Atleast not until they get much larger. I have a heating pad in there on low so I can see how warm it's going to get.....Anyways... As I was making the box I looked over and saw the two of them beside me..My vet said to seperate them when she goes into labor but not before since it stresses her to be away from him..Look at these pictures and tell me how you could seperate these two....Then tell me what you think of the whelping area....

I don't know anything about whelping areas, but I do know two lovebirds when I see them. :wub::wub:

NanaDtreasures 05-01-2008 03:20 PM
Awwww
 
I love the pics of them together ~! :D
I know how much they love each other.
But you will be surprised how she acts towards him for awhile
after the puppies come. :p
Then all will be well again after puppies are gone.
The whelping area looks good.
You're ready girl.
Bring on the puppies ~!

My 11 mont old is pregant
 
He can be in with her.It is not true they don't want them in there.When my girls have babbies they want each other in there.She will let you know if he is not wellcomed.Just only let him be close like on bed or near by.
She will probally wait till you are home,My last girl waited all day at work with me and was not in the house 30 min and went in her room and had her babies.They want you there just like you wanted your mom.

While I whole-heartedly agree that it is important to be careful and watchful having other dogs around a female in labor and with newborn pups, I will also say it depends on the dog. When Lexie had her pups we had Lucky (our neutered yorkie male) and an old mixed cocker breed. They were both hanging around the whelping area (Lexie decided to have her pups in a corner of our family room rather than in her whelping box) and though she let them know to back off if they came to close, she otherwise did not mind them hanging around. I think Lucky was a bit worried about Lexie and chose to keep a watchful eye on her from above as seen in this picture of Lexie resting while waiting for the next pup to arrive.

I see you might have a tiny.. if you do.. make sure you watch and time how long the tiny is suckling.. I had one that would only suckle for a minute and then slept for 4 hours.. we had to tube feed her every two hours night and day for two weeks.. by then she was strong enough that she would go on her own.. the vet did not think she was going to live..
we still have her and she is going to be two in may.. but it was scary even though I had tube fed two babies many years before that..be prepared for this.. ask the questions now.. ask the vet to be prepared to teach you how.. with tube feeding it is very dangerous.. I worry.. but I always make sure they are whining when the tube goes in.. then I know it is in the right place.. if they are not struggling and whining.. the fear is that it went in the windpipe.. I would pull it out and begin again..nerve racking as it is.. I knew how much she was getting in her tummy..I also weighed her each time she was fed and kept the date and time..

that is a good idea to do anyway.. you always know then..there are many people to ask questions to.. I usually do not answer to many..for we all have our own ways of doing things..

good luck and keep us posted...anne
Anne - how much does your tiny one weight now at 2 yrs old?
Allways wondered if they stay tiny or grow to an average size?

This is definitely not true for all dogs. Remi isn't ready for any of the other dogs to visit her puppies. She will grow at them when she comes out to stretch her legs just to let them know how she feels. Teddi who is due on Monday will try to put her front feed on Remi to show dominance and will race to get to the bathroom where Remi's pups are housed. She has nipped at Remi's pups when they were very young before. She would probably kill them if she were allowed to as it is her instict to secure the resources for her own pups. Please let your gal lead you on when she is ready for other dogs to be near her babies. Even in the wild mom's keep their pups apart until they are able to walk.

That photo of them together is pure Puppy Love!! :hearts33::hearts6:

I strongly agree here. If you allow the babies to be exposed to the other dogs or dog, your definately taking a chance, because it its an "unknown" on how they will act, how the Mom will respond ect. I never felt like there was any reason for taking chances. Now, when they are bigger and our mark is 3 weeks after we have observed them all together, they are allowed supervised visits, then we will let them stay in the same room during the day...I always pay closer attention to others verses our stud...he's usually not very impressed by them at first, lol

Can you say true love? Those pictures are just adorable and they seem devoted to each other!

omg, those pictures are priceless.. absolutely love these pics.. all you need is the wedding gown and tux.. they looks so in love with each other.. brought tears to my eyes..anne

and your whelping area looks great.. and you have room to be right in there with her... good job...I just use a spare bedroom, but that is great also..

bchgirl 05-01-2008 05:23 PM

I can not express how strongly I agree here.
I'm not saying they cant stay together...
But boy are you taking a chance.
My girls wont even let other girls around their puppies
and I know I've read right on Yorkie Talk of people coming home and finding dead puppies from this.
One being a little singleton not to long ago, after fighting to keep it alive.
Its just not worth the chance.
They can be loving later

amanda350 05-01-2008 05:38 PM
I am going crazy!!! Now that everything is perfect and ready there is nothing to do but wait.. I sure hope she has them SOON!!! She is laying in my lap right now.. She has been really sleepy today... Earlier when I took a shower, I came in the living room and Stewie was asleep in her xpen and Kallie was laying her big fat butt right on top of him.. I don't see how he was breathing..Heck my leg is already asleep... I do not plan on letting Stewie near the pups for several weeks.. I will keep him out of the xpen and the puppies in. I just checked it a few minutes ago and the heating pad is perfect.. I cannot wait until they come.. I printed off some info to have handy but can anyone tell me what I will most likely need.. I have a towel for cleaning the babies up and a scale and milk with a dropper and scissors to cut the cord if I need to...what else am I missing? When do you bathe the puppies for the first time...

I would say the #1 MOST important thing to have for the puppies
Is bulb syringe or snot sucker as someone said....:p
Without this a puppy can die in minutes ...and theres no time to go get one.
Always do the mouth first...then the nose
I dont know what others think..but this has saved several puppies for me
Without it I wouldnt have even needed the other things.

I agree 110% with you!

I have learned so much from reading this thread. You all have been so generous with your knowledge and experience.
Good luck Amanda. I'll be watching this thread and waiting for the babies to arrive!

If you've never seen a mother severing a cord before, you may be shocked. They are quite rough with them. However, it seems as though all the bobbing around gets the pup stimulated and active. IF you have to help with the sac, you NEVER start from the bottom....ALWAYS start from the head or you will force the fluids to gush toward the face. IF you have to help with the cord, NEVER just cut. You need to learn where to have it pinched and then you do more of a sawing action. Have you been reading a lot of whelping info on line? I think one of THE most important things to know is the "shake down". If you have a pup that is definitely in need of help to get breathing due to too much fluid remaining, never hold it with its head toward the ceiling. Also, in my opinion, mouth to mouth is a last resort and remember that you only use air from your mouth, not your lungs. There are things to do that may sound too gross to mention on here. I will tell you this....everything could go just fine and you may not have to step in at all.

Yes, definately the bulb syringe is most important,cord clamp, scissors, towels, blankets,scales...water for Mom to drink...after pup is born, make sure immediately that the sac comes off...if mom is not real agressive about chewing it off quickly, don't hesitate, take it off and suction the mouth out 2-3 time... I'm such a hands on person (from labor and del. nursing of skin babies) I always want to jump in there and do it all, like cutting the cord, drying the pup off and then putting it right on a teet, Watch the Mom to make sure she doesn't obsess about chewing that cord down too short..some of them do and they (pup) can bleed out....I hope this doesn't scare you too much...kinda alot to remember I know...your going to do fine!

katelin 05-01-2008 06:59 PM
This is when you start having sleepless nights. Check on her every hour throughout the night. You know that is when the most puppies are born.

Wishing you the best of luck for a happy, healthy whelping.

luckylady 05-02-2008 08:24 AM
:confused: Nothing yet? No news at all? :confused:

I wonder if she could be busy with puppies?????

amanda350 05-02-2008 08:55 AM
Nothing yet!!! Her temp has been staying down at 98 so I don't know what the heck that means.. She wants to be in my lap or wherever I am at all times.. She slept half the night with me last night and I was afraid of her faling off the bed so I put her in her box beside the bed.. She has been OBSESSIVELY cleaning her FEET!!!! I'm not sure that she understands that they will not be coming from there but then again she is my dog so she has probably lost her mind as well. She acts like a cat with all of her cleaning but she is not cleaning her tootie very much...She is still pretty active today...I am MISERABLE....and Julz I hope you are really ok with me calling you if she goes into labor even if it is just to have you comfort me...What time is it now where you live?? There is a big storm coming in about an hour or so....Maybe I'll get lucky.. There's nothing like having new pups to care for on a rainy day...I guess. I've never cared for new pups before...What am I rambling about.. Well I will update if any changes...

Tnyorkiemom 05-02-2008 08:59 AM
glad to hear she is doing ok so far...these things take their own precious time...the wind here is really getting bad....and my animals are all acting the way they do before a big storm....do you have verizon wireless???

Yes, I am not proud to admit it but I do have Verizon..

Susan123 05-02-2008 09:26 AM
You'll need to have a heating pad also. One that doesn't turn off automatically. You need to put in under the box to keep puppies warm. If they lose their heat, which right now they'll not be able to sustain on their own, they'll die. Be sure it's not too hot for them. They'll spread apart if it is.

I already have a heating pad in there ready and waiting.. All I need is to find the suction thingy in my babies room and puppies......

I thought that a couple of days ago...when you asked what else you needed. :D

Whenever I see your user id..pop up on this thread...I run in to check puppy status.

katelin 05-02-2008 10:34 AM
I'm still here in the waiting room. Can you believe the vending machine is out of Cheetos? How can you have a birth without Cheetos? Getting tired of the fake coffee here too. But I'm still here.

Bizzy Bee sends her excited thoughts your way, and Ruby the pro, says calm down, all will be just fine. The puppies will come when they come.

Wishing the best to you in Tennessee.
