yay this is soooooooooooooooo exciting!!! sorry to your hubby ;) lol Ive been looking to make sure everything is alright with the mom and pups!!! Im sooooooooooo glad they are doing good!!! :D keep up the good work!!1:thumbup::thumbup: |
I hope all is going well and all of the puppies are doing fine!! Please keep us posted. |
all is going along really awesome - I KNOW there are more lumps in there though, she is trying to rest I guess... I HOPE HOPE HOPE we have some girls in the mix! I will follow up soon... its quiet right now.:aimeeyork:aimeeyork:aimeeyork |
wow... these last couple are sure taking their sweet time.... I can feel to definite lumps in her belly - is it normal for it to take this long? Waiting here and I hope its all okay to take so long... the first three came so fast. plus I am waiting on another placenta! Its been surreal!:animal-pa |
Congrats on the babies, so many of us are dying to get your updates. Good luck! |
We have number 4 now - 3 boys 1 girl! I think there is one more hard long lump though! Boy that one took a while! I am resting easier now, she is panting still I bet she is whooped! Lots of green liquid though... that normal too? Anyways they are all thriving and yippy! I can't believe it. Is there anything besides making babies nurse that will move this along!!!!!! Thanks guys!:aimeeyork:thumbs up |
Congratulations on your new litter. I am glad you got your girl. Yes, lots of green liquid is normal during whelping. That last lump you felt could possibly just be the uterus. I hope you got a little rest and I pray momma and babies will do well. |
WELLLLLLL..... All is fantastic, except MEEEE I am sooooo tired. Last puppy born at 5:40 am - I knew there were five little gaphers! We have 4 boys and one l'il angel! I THINK- my eyes are pretty zonked right now. But I do THANK GOD for a safe and healthy and smooth delivery! Yipppeeeee - I will take pics after I have a nap! Oh but she only delivered two placentas is this okay - will the rest come out later... |
She will probably pass the rest of the placenta or she could have ate them. As a precaution you should take her to the vet to get examined and get a clean out shot. It can be very dangerous if they retain a placenta but in my 12 years of breeding I have never had that happen. I am a bit curious about your statement that you had her studded out and you thought you might be off on the dates. Was she not in your possession when she was bred? I am just wondering if she was somehow bred before you thought she was and how that could have happened. Now your challenge is to make sure momma gets plenty of food. You may have to hand feed her the first few days. Make sure she is eating 3 or 4 big meals a day. The last feeding should be right before bedtime. |
Congrats! I hope all the babies are going great!! |

Sometimes when the pups came out I thought they looked stillborn, especially the first one, he really scared me, he was gasping for what seemed liked forever and a day and finally as soon as the second pup was born he seemed to come alive and quite well and loud and wigglin around like crazy...but they always perked up, and I had to cut all of the cords which was a HUGE CHALLENGE! When we bred her we took her to a friend's home and left her there for a week, and they first tied on January 8th - now quite possibly they tied while my friend was not around - which I would never recommended but these things can happen... and we then had the stud here for a week and they tied twice - once on Friday the 9th and once on Saturday the 10th. But all seems really well, pups are eating well, I have a heating pad under a blanket in her bed ... granted I was scared to death half the time last night and I am glad that is done! |
another question... how soon could I get Tink all cleaned up, she could really use a bath. |
I imagine they did breed when your friend was not around. I am just glad things went well. Just keep a close eye on the momma. I recommend taking her temperature twice a day. If she was to start getting a uterus infection the first indication is temperature above 103 and loss of appetite. Also keep a close eye on her breasts. If they start getting really hard or red that is a sign of mastitis and she might need antibiotics. I have also read that a cabbage compress works good for hard breasts. We will be looking forward to seeing pictures. |
Going to try - PICS I am going to try and post a couple pics for now... it says my file is too large? I will do another photo album - that seems to work better and I don't have time to fool around trying to figure it out today... :) |
So I quickly made up some photo albums of the clan here! I have four Yorkies, three girls and a boy. This is our first litter of puppies. Now we have NINE! :o) No I am not keeping them - well.... maybe ONE!!!:D I am off to clean now. I will post back later. Thank you again for the support - I have been 'lurking' for a while - and I don't know how I would have done this without such a great forum! |
Congratulations to you and Momma. Both of you must be exhusted but happy. Can't wait to see pictures of your new babies. |
Congratulations on your new babies, I loved reading this whole thread, so exciting to get a play by play update! I am curious about tying off the cords tho, why was that hard to do, are they thick to cut? I thought you just tie them off with dental floss. Anyway, I am thrilled that you had such a good healthy litter, I hope they will all have loving homes! It seems everyone of my homes I have lined up only wants girls. Whats wrong with boys? I think they are so adorable in their little belly bands!:cool: |
The cords aren't thick at all, maybe I just didn't do things right... Tink would deliver a pup and start cleaning it off like she was supposed to, and she wasn't delivering placentas with every pup, so the pup would be hanging out of her still attached to the placenta and she was trying to chew it to separate it, and couldn't quite reach. So I tried to tie off the umbilical cord with string, but it was hard to get in there to do, I don't know. Maybe next time - if there is a next time we will do better, but all in all so far it has been a great success, and all are healthy and well and yappy and eating! Thankful for that. Mom is okay too - although I posted last night on another thread because I was concerned about all the panting... she is a panter anyhow but not this much, she is not fevered at all and is eating lots and peeing and pooping good too, her pees are finally back to there normal size and color so I believe all these are good signs. I will rest easier in a few weeks I guess! It was and has been so surreal, can't wait to catch up on sleep though... (sounds soooo selfish I know - but its real! the sleeplessness! but its all good not complaining just statin' the facts!!! ):) I am so happy! And relieved and and and!!! I could go on and on! I will post pictures in our album with weekly updates! We are off to the vet for the tails and dew claws - another painful but necessary task! :( |
OK...now that everything is ok. I just have to say you\'re blow by blow description was so funny....I could just HEAR you angst in your words!!!:p CONGRATS!!!! |
Well, back from the vets now and all is well! Albeit I got a different person, but she was okay! Puppies are all good - mom is a bit fevered, she had a temp of 40.2 I have a prescription of Clavamox for her. Milk is good - check Belly is good - check check Pups were not weighed though? - Saturday \'no frills\' vet visit I guess??? I\'ll do it myself I guess! I even had to ask them to please check Tink over... grrrrrr! They also told me as long as she is eating well, there is no need for extra\'s. They told me no on the vanilla ice cream and the yogurts and cottage cheese, etc, etc... but I thin I might still give her a bit of Nutri - cal... and some cheese to treat her... she deserves it! I did have to hand feed her today once, because she does not like to leave her babies at all. She scoots into the bathroom a few times a day to use her puppy pad and is right back in the box with em! She\'s really a mother hen! Her weight is great too - She is 6 pounds 4 ounces... good for a new momma! I love her so much I was so scared last night when she was panting uncontrollably... we go again on Monday to follow up and make sure her fever is down, but all in all I am wayyyyy more relaxed today! NOW ~ I hope I can carry that feeling through ~ I could be back on-line posting with some other drama or worry!!! :aimeeyork:aimeeyork:aimeeyork:aimeeyork:aimeeyork :rolleyes: I still can\'t BELIEVE the babies are here! It all happened sooooo fast! |
