Oh my GOD! I'm hitting the prayers RIGHT NOW!!!!

DanielleAllen · 03-09-2009, 12:33 PM

well I hope all ends well. How many puppies in all did she end up having? I do hope that things change when she comes home...let us know!

jcwuvzu · 03-09-2009, 12:48 PM

Well, the hubs tried to upload pics of the four babies we have, but he couldnt find it in the computer, lol. Then he tried to upload a pic of Princess by herself and it said the file was too big. He gave up. I am gonna have to learn this myself, could take awhile, I am really about as sharp as a dull pencil most days

Anyway, vet kept the puppies at the office cuz he wants them to nurse from mom as soon as she is able, and wants to see how she acts with them. He is also spaying her. No sense in going through this again. If all goes well, we will have six little furbutts running around! Have I mentioned I already have four dogs?

Uh, that makes ten. And I live in a ranch. A small one. hee hee. It just got a lot smaller.

Wow I hope and pray things turn out well..I was just reading the first few posts you wrote and the first thing that popped in my mind was, she sounds like she is in pain for some reason and then saw where the vet saw two more pups..that will prob. explain her bizzare behavior..I hope...please keep us informed about her progress... bless you!

sdtrippe · 03-09-2009, 01:09 PM

Whispering prayer for all of you ..Good luck...My gosh 6 babies...Wow that's a big litter....My 6 lb female had 6 on her first litter but one was lost within 24hrs.
Thanks for the update..I think we all were waitng to hear how it came out...

ohhh, vet is on the phone now. he said one lived, one was deformed, we pick her up at six. So, five babies, one passed. we dont know what the fifth one is, the rest are all girls.

jcwuvzu · 03-09-2009, 01:30 PM

puppy pic was too big. we will try when we come home from vet...

Sugar's Mom · 03-09-2009, 02:09 PM

sorry you lost one. maybe she will settle down now. I have had mamas have c-sectionss and still nurse their babies. Hopefully everything will work out for you. BTW, mama is beautiful and congratulations on five babies.

jcwuvzu · 03-09-2009, 03:42 PM

haha, that is Princess'es get away from me, I just had four kids and I dont like you anymore look!!
We are home now, Princess is nursing her babies, (maybe the drugs helped)

boy, what an experience! We did try the puppy milk, but they dont seem to want it as much as mommies milk anyway, so I will keep a close eye to make sure they all get some before she wakes up and turns back into Satan, lol. Their little mouths are so tiny, I hope we dont mess anything up.
One pup was not formed, vet said he had never seen that before, but it does explain why she has been so sick this whole time. That is also why all the dark green algae colored crud was there in the birth, my shirt is covered in it, ewww. I asked someone who raises dogs about it this morning when I saw it, and he said it was normal. Cant wait to talk to him now!
Guess its gonna be a long night again...

well, technically, muttlets, but they sure look like mommy to me

luvfla · 03-09-2009, 03:52 PM

ooooo, bless your heart...keep us updated.

Oh, yeah, mama is so out of it she doesnt realize she is nursing, haha, and unless I am seeing things, they are ALL girls. I thought we had a boy in the mix, but, no, and the one we lost was a girl, too. Does that ever happen?
With mama being so out of it, I was worried that they wouldnt be able to pee on their own, but they all had little puddles down there, so their little kidneys are working, yea!
I tried to wake Princess up with some yummy dog food (laced with pain meds) and she didnt even wiggle her nose. She's had a rough day, I'll cut her some slack.
I could never be a "real" breeder, first off, I panic too much and hubby would kill me, and second, this is a LOT of work, and too much can go wrong. I am so glad we had her spayed, and I am paying for at least one of my pups to be spayed as well. As far as them being free...the cost just went up to $75 says hubby, to help cover cost of tail dock, shots, and c- section. But they are all friends, so that wont be an issue. If it is, I need new friends.

ElaineE · 03-09-2009, 04:49 PM

You need to get her in a cage that has higher walls so she can't escape them. She should settle down once she knows she's stuck with the job. Just don't baby her, let her know you're the boss, and it's her job! Good luck! Tube feeding would be really hard with that many pups. Stand your ground, but don't let them starve.

Congrats on the litter, I hope momma feels much better tomarrow.
