They are all just too cute!!! :D:D:D:D

They are beautiful!!!

Sweet Babies!!!

I just sat down to really read each and every post..with my toast and jam and I am tickled pink with all the comments..I was in the bedroom with the PC and wow it was tight with kandie in there too..it was uncomfortable typing as it was not my laptop I am use to..
Anyway I wanted to tell you all.. the panic was with the first.. he was part way out for a good while. of course the biggest.. and he had an amazing amount of fluid in his lungs and nose.. I was in a panic as my girlfriend had a litter a couple months ago.. and she thought she had all the fluid out but when he started suckling he aspirated.. and that was so fresh in my mind.. she was on the phone with me giving me support.. for I was alone.. which is really much harder..
My old body is in bad shape from all the awkward positions I was in all day with her and then for three solid hours at the end.. trying to reach what I needed...
Well then on number 3 she decides she needs to go potty.. well the little girl hanging there just waiting for the afterbirth to come out.. and I did not have enough space to cut the cord.. it was too close to her.. and I had to strong arm her basically to get her to stay.. well that was a bit different for me.. then when she did run to go potty.. she just dropped at the end of the bed and did it.. then went out side to finish.. she felt bad as she never goes in the house but at that time I did not care...

I also want to thank Debby for helping with posting the posts..I really could not have done it..being with kandie and babies was to important..

Now they are settled in and I am still sleeping in the same room with her.. have not been able to go to sleep until around 4 this past couple nites.. but jim has been getting up and checking on the babies to make sure all is ok and he has been staying in the house until I wake..it is hard for every time I hear a peep, I am looking at the babies.. but I always do this.. I would stay with her if I had to sleep on the floor..:eek:

Glad you posted more details, Anne. We can all learn from these experiences. I was sleep-deprived for about 10 days after Ruby's litter. Its not fun, but would you have anyone else stay with them? Absolutely not.

Good job, and best wishes for mommy and all the puppies.

I am just so glad everything turned out fine. I do worry about each and every one of you. and I'll be a nervous wreck again next month too. :rolleyes: But let's get through May babies first. Sending prayers to the mommies. :hands::hands::hands::hands::hands:

Anne I am so sorry you had such a bad delivery. I am glad all are doing good now.:thumbup: You did such a good job all by yourself and all. My husband always trys to schedule his vacations around whelping time so I have someone here with me. I am glad he did since we had to have a c-section.
Your babies are so beautiful. Congratulations!!!

I had a rough night.. I lost my small boy..:( the last born.. went to the vet in my jammies.. but we could not save him.. he was fine when we went to bed last night..now I am timing the tiny girl on the teat..
I am so upset still..I do not know how this happened..but the vet says he had concerns on friday about his weight.. :eek:and seeming so small.. like crap why did you not say something to me then. anne

:eek:I AM SOOO SORRY!!!! I just started crying when I was reading this. That vet should be shoot. WHY did he not say anything to you about maybe you will need to supplement to help him out. I am so sorry you had to go through that. How are you doing? Life sometimes is just NOT FAIR. How is the little girl doing????
Keep us in touch my prayers are with you:hands:
Sue

We have been timing the little girl when she is suckling. she is also tiny.. and has not gained an oz yet.. so we are timing her now and we are making sure she is on the teat every 1.5 to 2 hours. then timing her.. we stand there now to make sure..
Then finding out my girlfriends son drowning saturday evening did not help me. That was a huge emotional crash to begin with.. now I am going to worry sick on this girl.. I weigh her each time now she eats also.. I am sick and my stomach is in knots..anne

My prayers are with you Anne. :hands:

My prayers are with you, too. I am so sorry for your loss. Have you tried supplementing the girl? I think I wouldd just to be on the safe side.

Dee hubby just went to get me some beef liver.. little girl is bouncing down to 5 3/8 only once I have I got her to the 5.5
I have milk replacer but have only used it to tube feed gracie and all she was getting was from me.. every two hours..
I got a fresh container of the powder and no directions and I forgot if it is one to one with powder and water..
how much should I give her at once.. if I am going to give her a supplement..
thanks dee
she is again like gracie and wanting to sleep longer and not wanting to suckle every two hours.. kandie is again letting me know something is not right..anne

Oh Anne, I am so sorry. :( Sending you many, many prayers for you, your family, and the little girl. :hands::hands::hands::hands::hands:
Darlene

:( I am sorry you lost your little boy. I will send prayers your way for the little girl also. I agree with Dee...if she is not gaining, it does sound like supplementing is needed. ((((Hugs to you and the babies))))))

gee I hope this makes sense this morning.. I am just so upset
 

thanks all.. Kandie has been cleaning him up all night.. she is with him now and he is wet from her working with him.. she was so distraught when I took the other one to the vet and did not come back with baby.. that after talking to a breeder on the phone last night.. she said that was the cry when the body was shutting down.. she knew exactly what I was talking about.. said I should have maybe let him go with her so she would no.. so now she is with him.. he is hardly moving.. going fast like the other baby.. but with this one I did everything I could.. and at that weight baby should have been able to suckle on his own..
I am so upset.. beyond words.. this sure has brought me some great people I must say.. you all have helped me so much.. right now I am too upset to even think straight..
I feel I let them down somehow.. yet I have never left the house since they were born.. ran to the store once for a few minutes.. the rest of the time I have sent hubby.. He was up all night with me and has just gone to bed.. he is so tired out.. he so tried with great patience all night to get baby to suckle on his own...
I kept gracie alive tubing two years ago.. we fed her night and day every two hours.. for two weeks before she was strong enough to suckle. but she has this will from the start..
These boys have shocked me beyond belief...kandie always threw two.. it was going to be such fun having 4 babies around for a few months..
I will have one girl and one boy left..there weight is 9.5 and 8.5 oz as of last night..
Ok I am so tired now I am not sure what I am saying... again thanks so much to all of you for such great support, care and love for my babies... anne

I am so sorry for your loss....Thinking of you and your precious babies with much love and prayers.

Oh Anne, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your baby, and pray this other one can hang in there.
Sending love and prayers to your family, Kandie, and the other babies. May God watch over you all. :hands:
