| Pups due any time now!!! Hello Breeders My female Yorkie, Penelope is due to whelp any day now. I have set up a box for her in an area next to my bed. I've experienced helping a dog I had many years ago give birth. But its been a long time. I'm not a breeder, just a pet owner who's female got pregant from a visiting male yorkie. She is very small but my vet has been keeping a good eye on here and feels that everything will go well. She had an ultra-sound and the pups all look healthy. I have prepared a kit to help in the whelping process. Is there anyting I am missing? * Whelping box * Blankets * Towles * Paper Towles * Betadine * Rubbing Alcohol * Dental Floss * Scissors * Latex Gloves * Baby Wipes * Puppy Formula * Nursing Kit * Heatiing Pad Any good advise you have is definately welcome |

| Congratulations on your upcoming litter. What day is she on now from her first breeding? It sounds like you have everything covered. Do you have any Nutri-cal on hand to give the momma in between puppies? How many is she expecting? I will be praying for momma to have a safe delivery. |

Oh yes, I do have Nuti-Cal. I was reading that vanilla ice cream is good for the whelping female in between deliveries. Is that right? I got some just in case | |

| Hi Kev, One thing I didn't see on your list is a bulb syringe for clearing the babies thraot and noses. You will definitely need that. Good luck on your babies and keep us updated. We are here to help.
