Are you able to hear a heartbeat, are the pups active? If you're unsure of any of this, take her into the vet and have him examine her. He'll be able to tell you if she's dropped, where the pups are. I know we all tend to worry and 2nd guess ourselves....but, I'm so glad that you are being extra cautious. |

Nature is great. Usually and I say usually, during the last week or so, mom's slow down a bit in their eating......mother nature's way of controlling the size. I know people get concerned about the growth (and you can have a larger one), especially if it's just one.....but, I've seen a litter of one weigh under 3 oz. There's no way your vet will perform a C-section now, with the possibility existing that they still maybe on the preemie side...... We've given you the danger signs and what to watch for should distress come into play....don't hestitate (and I know you won't) to contact your vet, or take her in, if you're unsure. |

If I can get someone to watch her for half and hour then I will go buy a thermometer for her and see how the next couple of days go. I am aware about the gums going cold if she is in shock so I am checking them often. So far they are warm as hot puddin'. :) I won't be hesitating to phone anyone, lol. I am checking on the cycle date that you asked for in the previous post....i think it's day 11 or 12 but I am going to check. She wasn't eating her dry food for most of her pregnancy. I got high quality puppy wet and mixed it with her dry daily. I would say I gave her a few tablespoons three times a day of that mix. If I gave her a different meal then it would have been some rice and chicken. I hope I didnt over feed her. |

I have to re-make that whelping pudding. How long does it stay good in the fridge. I made a batch the night before her first due date and that was last tuesday night....I should remake it....but want to know how long it stays good in the fridge..... |
I don't make the whelping pudding until she is in labor, :rolleyes: I have the nutri drops to give her if needed,so when she starts nesting I leave hubby or anyone home with her and run to the kitchen and mix the pudding and put it in the fridge, by the time whelping comes is ready to give to her. I usually discard anything left by the 4th day. |

sorry for all the questions I never heard of the goats milk thing before.:) thanks, Carmen in nj |
Quote:
The goats milk recipe I give at times between puppies, if she'll take it. But definately as soon as she's been cleaned up and puppies are with her. I pour into a cereal bowl and put it under her chin, I've never had one turn their nose up at it. Recipe: 1 12 oz can of goats milk = part of distilled water - I usually make sure the water has been refrigerated, a bit more refreshing to them. 1 tablespoon of Karo Syrup 1 well beaten egg yolk Shake and serve |

I will go out tomorrow and get the cans of goats milk. |

Goats milk, Karo Syrup and distilled water are staples around here at whelping time. |
