Need advise about my pregnant Yorkie

[Lissie]

Yorkiemom, thank you so very much for 'not going down that road'. I came for advise last night, not to be judged. I did take her to the vet this morning for an X-ray. She has at least 6 pups, maybe 7. Thats why she is so big. She is very healthy. I just never expected such a big litter from a Yorkie, thats where most of my concern comes from. I have my Vets number on speed-dial and the Emergency Vets number also, in case she has any problems in the overnight hours. My Vet is 5 min. from home. The Emergency Vets office is about 20 min. away. I feel a lot calmer now since talking to the Vet. He's given me several things to watch for, and I have a new themometer to keep check on her temp.

Again, Thank you, and Thank You to the others that have offered advise or support.

I'm glad your worst fears did not come true last night and that was for her to go into labor before you could get to the vet.

I think, by reading your posts above, that you have taken the steps you need to for the future.

I truly hope this delivery goes as smoothly as possible and that when its all said and done, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the love of 6 or 7 brand spanking new yorkies until it is time for them to go to their forever homes.

Please keep us posted on your female's progress and take lots of photos. Around here, we LOVE photos!!!

Good luck to you and the lil' mama!!

OK. Thank You. I guess the definition of a breeder, the way I've always thought of it anyway (that its a type of business), is different from what others think. And thats ok. Going by the definition used here earlier, I s'pose I am then.

Thanks!! I will sure let you know how she's doing. I'm not very computer savvy when it comes to re-sizing pics, etc...I have a pic of my girl , but waiting for my teen son to get home to help me make it into an avatar. It's too big to post it there at the moment.

Any babies yet?

[YorkieShadow]

Wow Thats a lot of puppies. Please keep us updated. wishing momma and babies the best.

[jakeepaper]

Best of Luck to you and your mama! I always think it is better to have 6 or 7 (yikes) smaller puppies than 3 or 4 HUGE ones!!! Please keep us updated and best of luck to you...we ALL worry about our mommies and their babies....

[whispersmom2]

With so many puppies, there are possibilities for many problems. The size you are describing would make me worry about a ruptured uterus if she doesn't just push them out with ease. Any trouble at all (I am assuming you know the troubles so I won't get into that) and you must beat feet to the vet with your girl. Has the emergency vet ever seen her? Just curious but it would be good if you had met them.. You would be more comfortable.
I so hope that you will put off any further breeding til you have become a well-educated BREEDER. I am not saying you are not an educated PERSON, so please don't be offended by that. But, I am sure you are uneasy enough already to know this is not an easy process.
And, for what it's worth, We all will be worrying with you because we breed and love the breed and want what is best for each and every mom and puppy. So, know that you have a lot of people pulling for your girl...

I am wondering how she is doing.

[Carters Mom]

She has a new thread . . . Lil' Bit whelped six pups - 3 boys and 3 girls!!!! Delivery went well today. Mom is going to the vet tomorrow for a checkup.
