Yes, it sounds like she's about to have them. Be sure to immediately take the sacs off of the puppies. You may need a pair of scissors. The sacs are hard to tear with your hands. Give the mom a chance to do the rest. |
Just checking in again... Don't forget us once the puppies start their arrival! We get excited and impatient too when we don't hear back from you folks that are expecting litters! It really should be today..well in the am maybe.I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Genie:animal-pa:aimeeyork Cookie :animal-pa:animal37 Lola :animal-pa:aimeeyork Angel :animal-pa::aimeeyork Lucky |

also there is not much if any puppy movement right now...is that a sign that they are ready to come? I did feel them earlier this morning. |
im not sure....we may have to bump that question up to some of the experienced breeders here online.....hey Ladies we need an answer |
First, how hard are you pressing against her belly? You should not be feeling for pups. You can easily bust their little puppy heads. She is probably fine. As I said before. Take her temp again. That is how I determine how close my girls are to having the pups. |

Hi Starla - Cindy just alerted me and asked me to come to the thread. What day are you? I have had bitches start digging at their bedding several days prior to whelping and then lose interest. If she wants out of the whelping room, I would let her out, but follow her around to make sure that she doesn't wiggle under a piece of furniture or in a corner where you couldn't get her out. |
I have always "played with the pups" during the last couple weeks of pregnancy. Very gently, of course, but feeling the pups moving is awesome. Sometimes as they position themselves for delivery they will become "quiet" and sometimes the little ones will move even more. |

The big question here is .... How are YOU doing? It sounds like Peyton is progressing normally towards a healthy delivery. In order to help her, you must remain calm and level headed. You cannot panic or act nervous, if you do, then Peyton will know it. |
I agree....let her out if she wants out. If she feels 'pent up', she won't be as relaxed as she should be. Just keep an eye on her. That should be easier for you if she's out anyway...just no jumping, etc. One thing I notice about my girls is they all seem to get glassy-eyed just before delivery but there are no two identical whelpings. With my last litter, Pearl started nesting the night before and woke me up about seven in the morning with that look saying...."it's time". You'll know when she's ready. Just relax and keep things as normal as possible in the meantime. It's better for you and your mom-to-be. :aimeeyork :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa :) |

Whelping pudding is a good source of usable calories and calcuim that is offered right during and after delivery. I generally make up a recipe using a modified version of one posted here and feed it daily for several days. |

Her Temp is 99.5 as of right now. |
The whelping pudding use is as follows: 1 can goats milk (plus 1 can water) 1/4 cup kayro syrup 1 small box of knox gealitin - all packets in the box 1 small carton of plain yougert with live cultures 2 egg yolks - optional, but the raw yolks are ok for dogs Heat the water to boiling dissolve the gealitin - you might have to do some stirring. Add the rest of the ingredients and pour in a 8" x 8" pan (or larger). When the pudding jells, cut into blocks. With this recipe you are feeding good nutritious foods plus sugar in a very easy metabolized format (kayro syrup). I am sure that there are other good recipes out there that will serve the same purpsoe, but I have found this one works very well for me. |

Just checking in. Our power went out yesterday due to a really severe storm, so I was afraid that I missed it all!! I hope all is well with Peyton. |
