Fantastic - it sounds like all is well
Things will probably pick up when she wakes.

Hi Huxer, I'm a fairly close neighbor living here in Omaha. Glad to be in on the excitment of your puppy thread!
Did your xrays not come out good? When did you have them taken? I had xrays done on my girl last year and it clearly showed 4 puppies.... and thats what we had. I know sometimes pups can be hidden behind others, but I thought that they were normally a pretty good indication of how many to expect.
In any case, wanted to let you know I'm here; hopefully she will start having them soon. Good luck to the little mama and to you. And, welcome to Yorkie Talk.

The vet just called and said that since she is resting comfortably that it is okay to let her go longer. She is pushing intermittently, only about every 10-15 minutes or so, but the sac does not appear to be moving anywhere. She is panting only every now and then. She keeps trying to get to the sac to lick it, but is so chubby that she just can't reach. We'll keep you posted... Thanks for the support!

We saw three on xray, but vet said he always goes with plus or minus one. (Just in case)

I see. I remember when I posted my xray photos here, there were a few Yt'rs who thought they may have seen a 5th puppy skeleton outline. But nope.....only four.

How's she doing now? What's her name?

Sunnie · 10-07-2008, 06:41 PM

Sounds like things are still going okay. Do not try to break the sac, just let her do the work for now and keep a close watch on her.

huxer · 10-07-2008, 06:43 PM

she broke her bag of water and is licking like crazy, panting harder.

Sunnie · 10-07-2008, 06:46 PM

Watch her closely.. the first puppy could present at any time. You will be able to tell she is pushing because they normally will stretch thier neck up as they push (most, but not all). Be ready to help suction the throat and nose.

luckylady · 10-07-2008, 06:49 PM

Woohoo! I'm betting there will be a puppy arriving before too long!

Do you have your whelping supplies handy & ready? Got the heating pad ready to keep the newborns warm while mom is busy delivering others?

Stay calm and you and the little mama will do great!

huxer · 10-07-2008, 06:49 PM

she is done licking like crazy now. she is just looking around at us like we are crazy. So now my question is - how long with the bag broke can we go?

huxer · 10-07-2008, 06:51 PM

we do have all of the supplies ready to go - the heating pad is on and ready to go - we can't wait!!!!

Sunnie · 10-07-2008, 06:53 PM

First litters can take a long time, but being a first timer, I would not let her go more than 2 hours before seeing a vet just for your peace of mind.

huxer · 10-07-2008, 06:55 PM

Her name is Huxlee Vaughn. poor baby girl is workin hard

Sunnie · 10-07-2008, 06:57 PM

luckylady · 10-07-2008, 06:59 PM

Okay, come one Huxlee Vaughn, you're almost there....YOU CAN DO IT!
