I guess that is why Dr's are not allowed to treat their own family members.

| I was just looking at her vulva. It has some clearish discharge....just a minor amount. Looks...wet but not a plug or anything like that. Is this normal? Some of her hair was stuck to it so it must be a bit sticky. |

Try and trim as much hair around there as you can with baby manicure scissors, for sanitary reasons........I usually shave my girls vulva area with a Whal Peanut......

| Marc, I felt pretty confident and had it all planned out how everything would be. I was in charge, knew exactly what to do, but as soon as I realized Maya was having contractions I panicked. I mean, I almost forgot what I was supposed to do, lol. I looked at my boyfriend and said, "I'M NOT READY YET!!!". It's funny looking back on it now, but I was a nervous wreck at the time. Unfortunately, maybe fortunately, I didn't have to put any of my learned skills to use. She wasn't able to deliver them on her own, afterall... But yes, if you think you're under control now, you probably won't be when you realize it's "time". Uh, not trying to scare you but just be prepared. Your emotions will be all over the place, especially since it's your first time as well.

And the worring doesn't stop after the whelp...your work just begins then......monitoring the pups, making sure mom's needs are met....making sure she's eating enough.....watching her breathing, taking her temp......hoping there is no infection (oh, always take your girl in to have that pop shot. At least 12 hours after she's whelped), or she doesn't get mastitis or eclampsia.....For the next few weeks you're gonna go nuts.

| QUICK HELP PLEASE: I am making that whelping pudding right now. The gelatine pkg says its for half a cup of water. But the recipe asks for 12 ounces of water which is way more than a half a cup. Do I add more pkgs? |

It will be the consistency of pudding. And as you use it will get a big liquidy.....but it's fine.
