| If he is actually gasping then surely he needs a vet? But in saying Thst, my pups are all usually quiet, so not crying wouldn't concern me- excessive crying would- but the gasping is cause for concern. If he was in the sac long then he may unfortunately have irreparable damage, so... Vet. Hope he is ok, poor wee mite. Let us know when they let you know?

| Glad everything worked out OK. For future reference, it is not uncommon for a puppy that was too long in the sac (or one that doesn't come around immediately) to gasp. Clear the lungs, make sure the gum and tongue color is pink and wait for a while. A puppy that is gasping is unable to cry until the gasping is over. The gasping is nature's way of getting enough oxygen into a distressed puppy. Also, never try to get a gasping puppy to nurse or supplement it. The milk or formula will go into the lungs. Best wishes to all. Charlie |
