I have never had to do it, but my understanding of feathering is when contractions stop between puppies, feathering can help get them going again.

yes...but my breeder also told be that if you thing that a pup is stuck or that she is not opening wide enough that fingering can help "stretch things out a bit.....just do it gently

My concern Wendy is that she has been pushing hard for quite a while and you don't see anything coming out. It is always possible that 2 puppies are trying to come out at one time and are jamming up the opening. because of that possibility, I would try to find a vet.

That could be true, but I don't know enough about feathering for me to advise her to try it.

Zoesmom00 · 07-26-2008, 08:03 PM

Okay..I spoke with the vet

Zoesmom00 · 07-26-2008, 08:04 PM

He says give her another 2 hours of pushing...if nothing then, to bring her in. He said up to 4 hours of pushing can be okay..lets hope it doenst go that long

4 hours?? does he have any experience with yorkies? I have never ever heard a vet say 4 hours of pushing.

Tnyorkiemom · 07-26-2008, 08:06 PM

she has been pushing right at 2 hours now...i would be heading to the vet

SweetPea53 · 07-26-2008, 08:08 PM

Was this the vet that your not too keen on or an emergency vet? I would call them back and ask if they are familiar with small breed dogs like yorkies

Zoesmom00 · 07-26-2008, 08:11 PM

Oh I'm sorry, I guess I never clarified...Zoe is a toy poodle bred with a yorkie...They are the two in my avatar pic.

Thats how long he said after he found out her breed...so maybe they can go longer than yorkies. She is 7 lbs and she was bred with a yorkie 4 lbs.

Zoesmom00 · 07-26-2008, 08:12 PM

I know cross breeding is frowned upon... I would never water down a yorkie...i just wanted some yorkie with my Zoe Ann...
