I see why he don't want to do a csection.

As a breeder sometimes I miss being able to take vacation but times like this I am glad.

Vets as well as maternaty doctors tend to all want csections even on humans. I had one I should no. They did not take my son until they had to. My pelvis was to small. So will see what happens. I have a vet on call if anything goes wrong.

Not even Great Danes whelp 3 to 5 pound pups.....I think it was a typo.

How much does your dog weigh? I believe you said 2 pups, same as sassy. It has to be tonight or tomarrow. They can not hold on to them forever.

she weighed like 5.8 to 5.11 before pregnancy and weighed in at 8.7 today. when he did xray she was still early but he saw 2-3 but thinks there's more

oh , shucks,i was getting ready to call one of my mentors that breeds Alaskan malamutes and brag that our puppies are bigger than hers, her girls usually whelp about 6 to 9 pups at between 1 to 2.5 pounds with the ocassional 3 pounder, I yet to see one that big.. ...

Wow she has gained alot, I think your vet is wrong, I do not think they are early not if you picked her up Oct 1. Even if breed on the 30th of sep. they would be 63 days. So right on time. Sounds like more than three by that weight gain. Sassy has only gained 8oz with 2 pups which she the vet claims they are big. The most the pups could be my guess on sassy is 3-3.5oz, you could have up to 5 it sounds like.

Most of my girls weigh between 5 and 7 pound before breeding.......My biggest girl, now spayed has always whelped 5 to 6 oz pups. Her last two litters gave her the most trouble. The litter prior to her last, one pup, the smallest, was born hind legs first....his chin got caught in her pelvic bone...had to be emergency delivered (no C-Section). Vet inserted a tube full of KY Jelly into her....it really lubericated her and out popped the pup....with a huge popping sound. Her last litter was when her horn was ripped during the whelping process.

That being said, problems can exist in big girls too. But, why buy trouble. It's very dependent on her pelvic area. But, other problems can present themself, posterior presentation, pups going up the horn, instead of down, pups blocking the canal.......just so many, many things to look for. I worry just as much about going past their due dates as delivering them prematurely.

Your girl was just fat.....Likes to eat doesn't she.

You know I've been there done that. My first born child, weighed 4 1/2 pounds when prematurely born.....When I got pregnant I weighed 105 pounds, when I delivered her I weighed 187 1/2 pounds.....Now I was just fat......loved to eat during that time.
