Donating YT 1000 Club Member | whelping post whelping -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is so easy to be a Monday morning quarterback... SOMETIMES..the sac stays intact, comes out and the dam or breeder tears it open, PERFECT all is well!!!!!! SOMETIMES the dam rips the sac open as she is whelping...puppy still inside dam..and there is no way to stop a dam unless you duct tape her mouth shut...I do not panic if the dam chooses to open the sac, head first puppy is ususally out fairly fast...if it is feet first, you must take a dry cloth and gently pull out the puppy...as long as the placenta is attached, the pups are fairly safe, once the placenta tears away, the puppy needs to be out of the mom asap... BUT if you see dry feet sticking out...unless your vet lives in your basement, you do not have time to go to them..you must deliver the pup asap... I had a recent email from a first time breeder asking me how long the puppies head could safely remain in the mom..sac was torn off and placenta was already out...it has been out for 20 mins...which was about 19 mins too long...in that case a live pup would have resulted with a gently pull...that was the breeders fault and the pup died. In your case...you had the bad luck of a small bitch and one large puppy, backwards and dry.....even that gives me sweat beads..I know things can and mostly will be tough. PS....everyone knows there is a "water bubble" that comes first..THEN the actualy sac the puppy is in? Breaking a water bubble is not like breaking the sac with umbical cord attached to it... RIGHT....bitches break water bubbles all the time... __________________ the above post might help later.. is this the first time? digging and nesting, loss of mucous plug. use the search engine to find old pstings info. best wishes

| How is your girl today? In most cases the temperature will drop to around 98 or 99 degrees. Early signs of labor are nesting (digging in bedding) and restlessness. As the labor progresses the bitch will most likely have the need to urinate and poop frequently. Once the hard contractions start the female may vomit and she will start panting and licking herself. |

| Waiting to hear if anything is going on. Have you been taking her temp? Is she trying to nest in her whelping box(digging and trying to find just the perfect place to lay)? Has she stopped eating her food, panting or anything like that? Well good luck and people will help you if you need it. Good Luck.
