I sure would not be making a pregnant momma that is ready to deliver walk 3 blocks. That can be dangerous. Please just let her rest and have some quiet time.

You are very correct. Sometimes there will be several water bubbles through out the delivery. The water bubble contain a lubricant that help lubricate the birth canal ahead of the puppy. Many times these bubbles break on their own when the momma is pushing.

My girl had one come out before the first puppy, then a second was coming out at the same time as the first puppy - making for a tight fit.

She popped it, making room for the first pup.

I am praying for a safe and easy whelp for you - and Heav'ne, of course.

still no pups. Went to the vet and he said she may go another day or two. he did observe her panting a little but he said she is fine

Emma Lee · 07-11-2009, 11:51 AM

Ok some people might disagree with me on this, but I left Emma for about 20 minutes, came back and her water had broke. When I sat back down she crawled between my legs and that's when the action started. I don't know if she needed a break frome me petting or if she worked herself into a fit while I was away but that seemed to do the trick. Maybe Heav'ne needs a little alone time, trust me when I say that it was hard to walk away but I think that me sitting there petting her (even though she wanted me to) relaxed her to the point where the contractions weren't coming strong enough. Of course if I really knew she worked herself into a fit it would absolutley break my heart

yorkiemomma812 · 07-11-2009, 12:26 PM

good advice!!!!! I will go to another room but I will leave the baby mointer on just in case she cries. Maybe I have been smothering her to much. Thanks for the advice. How's Emma and her precious babies?

bjh · 07-11-2009, 01:13 PM

I do not recommend leaving the momma alone if you think she is in labor. The best thing to do is leave her where you can watch and observe her. I always just chill out in the bedroom when my female is in labor. I just watch tv and they will lay quietly on the bed next to me and I can see when they are having contractions.

Emma and the Babies are doing real good. They babies are real healthy and she is very attentive. Good luck with Heav'ne I will keep watching to see what happens

Princessangela3 · 07-11-2009, 02:06 PM

Good luck and I hope you have a safe whelp! Sounds like you are pretty close!

yorkiemomma812 · 07-11-2009, 02:53 PM

I think we may be on a puppy watch!!!
Heav'ne is panting so hard and laying on her side then getting back up. She wants me near. When I tried to use the restroom she tried to jump out of the pen so of course I am sitting in the pen with her. Her tongue is hanging out of her mouth and she is huffing and puffing like she just ran a marathon. I cant get her to drink any water. She seems to have some relief since I turned on the fan to cool her off. Should I give her some whelping pudding?

wolflover · 07-11-2009, 03:32 PM

Hmmm, I dont know about the whelping pudding. Im still learning in that area. But what is puppy watch?

please do not let mom sit in front of the fan, you do not want the puppies to be in any kind of a draft and get chilled. do you have a heating pad covered with a blanket or towel on low where babies can be while she is having the next puppy? Think of it like a human woman giveing birth, you see them breathing in & out with the contractions.

as for the whelping pudding i would not give any till she has had the puppies, if you want to give her something try softened vanilla ice cream after she has had the 1st pup, it will give her a boost of energy and help with the contractions.
Good luck

Finally!!!

I am a little worry about her not drinking much as it will slow down her milk production. Try to mix water with a tiny bit of milk, or chicken broth. Try to make her drink from a glass or from your hand. My females get very picky and don't drink much either when they are about to whelp but I do my best to encourage them drinking a little.

Hope your female will be having a safe and easy delivery.

bjh · 07-11-2009, 04:29 PM

I would never give a dog milk. Some people give them a little puppy formula after the pups are born but regular milk is not good for dogs.
