Betty, can you tell us how things are at the moment? Have you seen any signs of contractions? Have you checked her rear end to see if there's a bubble present or if the area between her vulva and behind has flattened out and has enlarged? Any discharges from her besides the water and how long has it been since you noticed that?

PenniesMom 06-20-2010 09:01 PM
ive only ever delivered cats im nooo expert but what ide do
clear the water sac away from the puppy's nose and mouth first. Hold the puppy at a downward angle to help drain fluid and mucus from its nose and throat. use the bulb syringe ( snot sucker ) sweep it in the mouth a few times and in each nostril Rub the puppy vigorously with a dry, clean towel until the puppy squeaks. This rubbing will both clean the puppy and stimulate it to start breathing. as long as its breathing ok try to get it to suckle as soon as you can. Im sure ive left a ton out but its a start!

Thanks guys for taking over. Remember if you need me don't hesitate to call. You too Betty, your girl is depending on you, so don't hesitate to ask questions, give info and/or call.

PenniesMom 06-20-2010 09:05 PM

Woogie Man 06-20-2010 09:09 PM
I PM'd her my # so she can call. She mentioned internet problems but hope she can get back on to see the messages.

Woogie Man 06-20-2010 10:21 PM
OK, I just got off the phone with Betty. No hard labor yet but just got her to give me a heads up on her situation. No signs of distress...all seems good at this point. I gave her some info on what to expect as things progress and what to watch out for. I hope to hear from her later. I'll be staying up for a while longer and will keep the phone nearby if I drop off to sleep.

At this point Betty could use some YT prayers for a safe and uneventful whelp for Baby Girl (her Yorkie). I'll post again with any news.

Lily del Chiesa 06-21-2010 01:10 AM
Hope everything's alright... Any news?

Edited- Ahh thanks for the update Woogie

Sending up prayers for Baby Girl. I hope this morning she is ok and her pups have been whelped safely and are healthy.

Mardelin 06-21-2010 03:37 AM
Didn't hear from Betty during the night. Wondering if anyone else has.

Perrella 06-21-2010 04:08 AM
Praying for baby girl and her little ones.

Woogie Man 06-21-2010 04:49 AM
Was checking to see if Betty posted during the night. I talked to her around 1 AM and Baby Girl was still like she described in her earlier posts. I would have thought there would be some progress by now.

I got no calls during the night. Am a bit worried, but not much to do until we hear from Betty.

Thanks for talking to her.

Woogie Man 06-21-2010 05:15 AM
Mary, when I talked to her Baby Girl was pretty much the same. The water had broke around 7:30 last night (central time) so it's been over 12 hours. Something should have happened by now.

BTW, Baby Girl is a 5 year old Yorkie whose normal weight is between 6-7 pounds. Betty is not the original owner and Baby Girl has had 1 litter before about 2 years ago.

I pray all has gone well. She was forthcoming with her info on the forum, was she better over the phone?

Woogie Man 06-21-2010 05:30 AM
I just got off the phone with her. Baby Girl seems to be going into stage 2. There is a bulge in her rear but no pup presented yet. Some hard contractions are starting. I have to be away for about an hour. I told her to not hesitate to call you. Also, I'm PMing you her #.

megansmomma 06-21-2010 05:32 AM
Has anyone heard more from the OPer? I'm hoping she comes back to update and the puppies were delivered safely. Mary and Jim you are both great. Thank you for always stepping up to help in situations like this. :(

Is this normal after all these hours?

i've been watching this thread since last night. Was hoping to see new pups this morning. I can't believe she still hasnt' had them since her water broke 14 hours ago.

Mary, with dogs if they deliver so long after their water breaks is there a chance the pups will need special care afterwards? i only ask cause my friend (human) had her water break at 1am and didn't have her baby until 7:30pm that same day. Her baby had to go into NICU because she was having trouble breathing. They said it was because she was in the womb for so long after the water broke.

There is a possibility of some problems but, not always. I'm about to give her a call.

Lets hope she is just exhausted from helping birth puppies, and thats why we haven't heard from her. I sure hope everything went okay. :-/

First puppy has been born. Betty is working with Baby Girl to get the cord cut. All is going well at this point, Betty is just nervous....experienced breeders suffer nerves too.

EarthAngel 06-21-2010 06:28 AM
I have been holding my breath since this morning when I read it all. I just joined this group recently and am so happy to see how much you all care....especially staying up and helping Betty. Mary and Jim, you are both very special people!

Good going, Betty!! You must be exhausted. Will keep looking for updates.

Woogie Man 06-21-2010 06:28 AM
Glad you were up this morning, Mary. I hated to leave her as I knew a pup was on the way. I came home to find one of my neighbor's cats giving birth in my driveway. It's been a crazy morning....

I think Betty will do fine. Hope the whelp goes smoothly. Mary, tell Betty she doesn't need to be nervous...I'm nervous enough for the both of us LOL. Honestly, I don't think I fell asleep until about 4 this morning after talking to her.

I just got off the phone with her. She is attempting to tie off the cord. Placenta was delivered.

Betty, If you're able to read this, as I don't want to call you cause I know you're busy, either put the puppy's butt to the mother's mouth so she can diaper it. Or take a cotton ball or wash cloth that you have wet with warm water and massage the pups anus.

Betty is doing fine. She just called and told me that her Baby actully cut the cord herself, but she monitored to make sure it didn't get close to the puppy's tummy. The placenta did expell and Baby ate it. So, many things I wanted to tell her, but she's busy. The pup was crying so it is expanding it's lungs. So, I don't think the shake down was necessary. But, maybe with the next puppy.

Woogie Man 06-21-2010 06:47 AM
I cautioned her about the cord so glad she monitored the Mom cutting it. She wasn't given much good info by her vet so was really unprepared. Last night I just told her enough to deliver the pups and get them settled in. Didn't want to over-whelm her with too much info. I'm sure she'll need some guidance after the whelp on after-care.

I also gave her some basics that she needed to keep on the alert for. There are so many things that we do automatically. But, when one is whelping their first litter, it's hard to give them all the necessary information needed.

She is contacting her husband to pick up some basic supplies on the way home from work. I told her that when things settle down we'll talk so, that I can give her a list of basic supplies she'll need to have on hand.
