Puppies due on Sunday! :) So, I took my Tenley girl into the vet for her ultrasound about 10 days ago. He said everything was looking good and he could see that there were 3 puppies in there, maybe 4, but we would know for sure from the x-ray. Well... we had the x-ray today and there are SEVEN puppies!!!:eek: Oh my goodness, my head has been reeling all day! :) |
OMG, 7, wow she will beat all my silky litters to date, my biggest litter is 6. that girl is going to need a very good calcium supplement after whelping.. hugs, |
WOW!!!! 7 puppies! Hope mama's milk keeps up! =) Happy, easy, speedy labor and delivery vibes for your girl! |
Thank you Carmen! :) I knew I was in for some news when I heard "Holy COW!" come from the x-ray room. :) I think the calcium was the first thing that went through my head and I am glad I was already prepared "just in case". I have Oral Cal Plus and the Animed Di-Cal you suggested on hand. Thank you Amanda! I hope so too! :) |
Holy Cow!! is right, girl your little girl has all my girls beat... one word on the Animed it worked wonderful for Delilah, I had a calcium reading pre whelping and one done during lactacting, and her calcium level never moved.. this thing is the best thing after slice bread.. I gave her half a teaspoon mixed with her scrambled egg every morning and another half a teaspoon before I put her to bed.. you might want to consider Fenugreek too , it helps with milk production, I had not used it but I had heard great reviews on my breeding groups.. hugs, |
My Lexi had three litters of seven And raised every pup no problem. Good luck it will be lots of fun. I look forward to pictures. Keep us posted :) |
Wow big difference between 3 and 7 lol good thoughts and blessings go out for a quick and easy labor and delivery. Keep us posted. Don't forget the pics |
How long is the whelping pudding good for? I'm just wondering how far in advance I should make it. I'm thinking she is not going to last until Sunday with all those babies in there! They are sure moving around! :) She is still eating and drinking, but her temp was 99.4 yesterday morning and then 98.7 last night and back up to 99.4 this morning. Called my vet to let him know what was going on. |
I usually made the whelping pudding the first evening and let it set up overnight, served it the next day and the following day (usually gone by then anyways). I didn't like it sitting around longer than that. Tea's first litter was 6, then 4, then her final litter of 5 (she's spayed now). I also supplemented with other calcium rich foods like plain yogurt and 4% cottage cheese. I never had to give extra supplements, but each dog is different:) Wishing you a safe whelping and healthy, happy pups! Debbie (Tea', Katie & Paige) |
Oh the waiting... :) Her temp dropped down to 97.4 for 2 hours and then went up to 98.4 and has stayed there. Nesting started last night and she only ate a couple bites of food this morning. Maybe she'll hold out for day 63 after all... |
Puppies on the way:) I'll bet tonight or the wee hours of the morning!!! |
Very exciting for you. Good thoughts go out to you and mom |
4 girls so far! Mom and babies doing good. 2 breach, but she delivered them wonderfully. 3 puppies left to go! |
Great news sounds like she is doing okay Can not wait for pictures |
oh I just got back are read the wonderful news, can't wait to see what the other 3 are, I got only 4 girls...LOL |
Well, I think we are all done! 6 girls and 1 boy!!! Our #2 girl was the smallest @4.2 she nursed really well right after she was born, but we haven't been able to get her to latch on since. I've been giving her a little bit of nursemate ASAP with an eye dropper and she squishes up her little face at me! But, that worked wonders to perk her up, so we'll just pay extra attention to her. Tenley did AMAZING! The first one didn't come with her placenta, and we waited and waited. Well, it finally came... wrapped around #7! #7's sack was already off by the time she came out, but she came out telling us all about it! :) Phew! Exhausting day, but so wonderful! I'll post some pictures as soon as things calm down and I figure out how. ;) I just wanted to say thank you again for all the wonderful information here. Carmen, I think the Red Raspberry is a miracle worker! Tenley only had to push to get the first one out and the last 2. The other ones pretty much fell right out! |
Southern Utah? Oh so close! |
congrats, to that wonderful mom!! |
wow congrats...can't wait to see pictures |
2 Attachment(s) Here are some pictures. Girl #2 is doing so good now. Here are the stats, in case you're interested! Girl #1 born @ 4:10pm @4.6oz Girl #2 born @ 5:12pm @4.2oz Girl #3 born @ 5:52pm @4.9oz Girl #4 born @ 6:27pm @4.5oz Boy born @ 6:49pm @5.4oz Girl #5 born @ 7:59pm @4.6oz Girl #6 born @ 8:44pm @4.8oz when she came out, her sack was gone and she was wrapped in a different placenta. That scared me for a second, but then she started yelling at us, and I was relieved. :) So proud of my little lady! Hello Pateut! It's nice to see someone else from UT on here! :) |
how exciting. glad everyone is doing good. btw if you don't mind me asking. how big is momma? that is huge litter. |
Yeah, I was pretty surprised! We were thinking 4 or 5 would be big! Tenley was about 9 pounds pre pregnancy. |
Congratulations! Looking forward to pics! |
OMG how cute, keep us posted it will be fun to watch them grow |
Congrats ! Wow they are so cute. A lone boy in a sea of girls lol |
awwww everyone looks wonderful You will have so much fun now as they begin to change open eyes etc...... Once they all get moving around its a lot of work keeping everything clean but so worth it I keep in close contact with almost every puppy my Lexi had and wish everyone a happy birthday and get pictures often. I so look forward to watching these pups grow. Just make sure to be very picky and check out the people you sell to. You so not want one of these precious babies going to a bad home if you can help it. And I would suggest putting in a contract if they have to surrender you are the first one they must call. Again thanks for the great pictures |
WOW 7 puppies. I love the pictures, they are all so cute. Now the fun begins. |
How exciting!!! What is whelping pudding :confused: |
Thank you MishyMish! :) Whelping pudding is a mix of goats milk, karo syrup and an egg. It gives energy to the mom during and after whelping and you can use it to supplement a puppy. There is a sticky at the top of this section that tells you about it and how to make it and use it. :) |
