Sorry...I just read that there are no signs from Ollie. Maybe today will be the day! Are you still hearing heartbeats?

Congratulations Zane on your lovely golden litter(s)!

Tammy the pups are beautiful :-)

Looking forward to many photo updates on all of these pups.

It sure was a busy night ... lots of good things happening in this thread.

Cinnamon: 3.7 (birth weight-3.4)
Cadbury: 4.8 (birth weight-4.4)
Cupcake: 4.2 (birth weight-4.1)

I didn't supplement in the night....but I did once before bed. Livi's milk has continued to come in.

I will say that I am VERY worried over Cadbury. QUOTE]

Looking at those weights I'd say you have almost nothing to worry about. Cadbury gained the most. Usually I see a .1 increase the first night but he gained .4 which is great. Just make sure you weigh all of them a few times throughout the day and that they all maintain or gain weight. If any of them drop then suppliment them all once and let mom build up milk. It looks like you won't need to though.

Tammy, your babies are beautiful.

I hope that everyone else has a safe and fast whelp.

Livi pants NONSTOP....no matter what she is doing. Should she be doing this so much? Also, I took her temp and it is at 102.3 (doesn't seem overly high, but the panting concerns me). Is this hormonal and also being in a hot room with her babies??

I started a thread in the nursery forum for my new babies. I took some more this morning and couldn't resist posting them.

I am really not sure. We have our home thermostat set to 75...which is too hot, but we are able to turn on ceiling fan and raise a window. But we have the puppies in a half bathroom where it stays hot with the door shut. The puppies feel perfect to the touch and are sleeping peacefully, but it's hot for Livi. But, then again, she pants like this even when she is not in there.

If the room is hotter than 75 she is probably having a hard time regulating her body temp.

I turned the heat down and took her outside to potty and cool off. She seems to be doing better. I feel SO bad that I am the reason she has been miserable!!

What setting do you all typically use for your puppies (heating pad setting is what I am talking about)? I have a blanket over it and have it set on medium because low never sems to warm through the blanket...but am I dong this wrong, too?

If I use a heating pad with puppies I put it on low or medium. I only use it for the first couple days till I know they are gaining and doing well. The mom will pant quite a bit if you have a heating pad under her. Just make sure the room is not to hot. Try turning it to low and checking in on them. if they feel warm then try turning it off for a bit. If your house is kept warm you shouldn't need to have them on a heating pad for long.

I keep my heating pad in low and under half of the whelping box only, I keep the room temperature at 75 degrees all the time. I also keep a blaket over the whelping box to keep the warm in.I also keep an area rug under the whelping box to keep the cold from the floor to touch the bottom of the box.
here's a picture of my setup.

No not finding heartbeats. But I never was 100% sure that I heard them. But she gained weight and seemd like she was pregnant. She has milk.

I'm still hoping, but won't be surprised if she doesn't have any. I hope she doesn't have to deliver still borns. that was so hard on her.
