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. :( |

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. |

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. :-/ |

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. Dyan |
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.... |

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. |

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. |

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. |
