On puppy watch today!!! Hello Everyone: I'am new to posting on this site, although, I have been lurking for 8 months. Sophie (my 3 year old yorkie) and I are spending the day on the sofa. She is sixty days today, I expect puppies (4) soon!! We're all ready, just waiting. Just wanted to say HI, and thnaks for all the great info. Cheryl |
Welcome to YT. I pray your momma has a safe whelping. Is this her first litter? Be sure to let us know how everything goes. |
Welcome to YT and wishing you a fast and safe whelping.. hugs, CArmen in nj |
Thanks for the welcome. This is her second litter. When do I offer the "whelping pudding"? Her temp one hour ago was 98.1. Thanks, Cheryl |
I have never had to give mine the whelping pudding but I think those that do give it after the puppies are born. I always give a little Nutri-cal during the delivery. Has she started having contractions yet? You might end up being up all night. |
I offered it to my TAffy when she was in labor but she did not want it, anothe breeder told me to offer her low sodium chicken broth and she drank it in between contractions, she also took a bit of nutri cal. After the pups were born and she had rested an hour or so she was very hungry and ATE a LOT of the whelping pudding by itself and by dinner time she ate all her kibble mix with the pudding too.. then after the first day, I started giving her cottage cheese with her kibble for breakfast, and kibble and whelping pudding for lunch and before bed.. also she had kibble and fresh water available all the time..:) hugs, Carmen in nj |
Good luck with your litter. I pray that everything goes safely. |

She had one contraction that I felt. She's not that uncomfortable or restless yet, but probably in the first stages of dilation. Yes, I might be up tonight. She had some of the whelping pudding, not interested in food. Thanks again for your input and well wishes. I'll keep you posted Cheryl |
good luck with the little furbabies and momma i will be checking in! |
Welcome to YT! Wishing you the best of luck. :) |

Good morning Luckylady. No puppies yet. I hope it's today, But they'll come when they're ready. Cheryl |
They're going to make mommy work for them, aren't they! :animal36 |
Good luck with your litter! I've been on puppy watch today too! Pixie is on day 61 and expecting 6 so I don't plan on sleeping much tonight! |
I love puppy watches!! Good luck with a safe whelping!!:);) |
The puppy watch is over! Pixie had 3 little boys and 2 little girls! They vet had said the x-ray showed 6 maybe 7 but she was apparently wrong. I took Pix to the vet an hour after the 5th one was born and the new x-ray showed that all the pups were out! She did great for her first time. She had them all within 2 hours and had the 4th and 5th one in 7 minutes. She's being the perfect mom to them and I could not be any more proud than I am right now! :D:D:D |
How nice! I am glad to hear it went so smooth for you. What a blessing to have new life in your house today!:) |

We are on Puppy Watch Too!!!! :animal36 Penne is on day 61 today. Her temp last night was 99.3 and this morning 97.6. Would say that is a drop. Ate an egg and some turkey this morning, should say gobbled it down but other than than the tempature drop no other symptoms. Had her to the vet on Monday and we see four heads so we are expecting at least 4. Will keep everyone posted. |
aw good luck! Pixie's temperature runs low naturally so it was hard to tell exactly based on that but she was nesting like crazy all day long yesterday and didn't start hard labor until 11:40 and had all the pups out by 1:40! I wish you all the luck with your litter! I'm sure your little girl will do great! |
Hi: Still no puppies yet for Sophie. Congrats to Pixie on her new babies. My yorkies have always seemed to LOVE being moms. I wish that they were able to TALK to me. I'll be watching for updates on Penne. The waiting is so hard! Cheryl |

When Abby had her puppies last year she started at 11pm with panting etc... finally went into hard labor and had the last one at about 8 am the next morning. And she only had 4. |
Hi everyone Sophie had her puppies last night. 2 boys 2 girls. the weights were: 3.4, 4.7, 2.9, 4.0. Thanks again for all the well wishes. Cheryl |
Yeah!!!! Nice size babies. NOW we need pics! |

Congratulations Cheryl on the healthy litter! The weights all seem pretty sturdy, though anything under 3 oz might make me a bit nervous. I've never had any that small. And two girls and two boys.............how perfect is that? We'd all love to see pics of the new babies and the proud mommy once they get some rest. |
