Panting for a few days after delivery is normal, as long as she has no elevated temperature. Congrats on your litter, it sounds like mom and babes are doing well. |
Temp 102.4? Panting |
Temp is a little high for this soon after whelp. Although usually a normal temp, it usually takes a few days to reach 101 after whelping. Keep a close eye on her temp and if it goes up, rush her to the Vet. |

Signs of eclampsia. But it's really early to be looking for it. Not sure if it's possible to get it prior to puppies depleting calcium supply via nursing. Will someone comment about this? |
Those are big puppies. How big is the dam? |

And the other was a week before pups were due. She wasn't in labor but she had a big litter inside her and the pups had taken everything out of her, even with the right foods. |
Dam was 10lbs before pregnancy.Temp now 102.5 |
Is she still panting? Has she gotten up to walk and if she did, did she walk like normal and not stumbling? I don't know but if she was mine, I would be a little concerned about eclampsia. |
Walking and eating just fine. Not panting right now but feeding. Just gave her some ice cream. Goes potty out side regularly, likes to get away from pups just a little, but goes back well. Gave her 1/2 petab. Seems good, panting subsided for now, we'll see tonight. Goes to vet tomorrow, with pups. |
IMO those pups should be latching on. In my readings it seemed like mom wanted to pant. This is not normal. We go with our gut. It's usually right. She's not my bitch. I'd have my vet here. I wouldn't have a situation like this. I don't know anything about breeding a bitch that size. I feel that you must have at least one ex-ray. Even if they aren't always accurate it gives you a good guess at the size & number to know if you will need a c-section. You can never be too prepared. Did you get a shot to make sure she's cleaned out? Didn't you say they were a little early? |
Excellent! Good Luck! |

They are so cute!! What a wonderful Aunt you are in giving your niece a puppy. Has she picked out her baby yet or is she waiting to see their personalities?? When I was little my Aunt showed and bred Labs. I LOVED going over when she had puppies. When I was a little older my cousin and I helped her nurse a couple pups back to health. I would have LOVED picking out one of her puppies for myself. I was never able to have a dog when I was a kid, so she gave me a kitten for my 8th grade graduation. Had it for 13 years :) Keep posting pics... I would love to see them grow. |
You did good! ;) |
