Yes she said there is 5 in total, so waiting on 2 more

RoxysMomma · 08-08-2009, 12:31 PM

I was able to get to two of the cords... the one i didn't get to, she cut a bit too close and it bled a bit.. but, she's ok.

and yes, they are like torpedos.. she's getting a rest right now for the remaining two

I'm so glad to hear that your whelp is going so well. Sounds like they are nice healthy sizes too. Do you have them nursing now.......are they latching on okay? Can't wait to see the little sweeties.

see now that's my concern.. they aren't nursing yet.. and honestly i can't see if she's lactating.. any advice on what to look for and do would be greatly appreciated.

You are so fortunate...we have seen some pretty rough times here. I think y'all who breed are either well versed or crazy.....OR maybe a little of both?

RoxysMomma · 08-08-2009, 12:47 PM

ok, momma is VERY tired and still has two more to go... do i give her an egg? do I give her nutrical? suggestions?

Oooo it makes me nervous to give advice like this; I'm not much more experienced than you are. But I have read that a bit of nutrical is helpful and/or a little vanilla ice cream is good....how much exactly, IDK. I do think it's okay for her to rest; they can go two hours between pups. As long as she is resting & not in distress.
The pups don't need to nurse right away, but latching on and nursing does help mom with contractions. Can you get them to latch on......again not exactly sure how to do that except to try.

bjh · 08-08-2009, 12:59 PM

Yes, give her some Nutri-cal. Sometimes they will take a hour or so break after delivering several puppies. She probably delivered all the pups out of one horn and it might take awhile to work the other two down. As for nursing, keep trying to get the pups to attach. The mom might no have a lot of milk now but she should have colostrum. The pups suckling will help bring down the milk. When mom is resting between pups I like to let the pups nurse because that will help with the contractions. As soon as the mom starts to delivery another pup I always move the others to the side and keep them in a small blanket.

Oh good, sounds like my advice was fairly correct. I probably remembered it from one of your previous posts for another YT member.

Guess I'm learning
