| Counting down... Ok guys...today is DAY 55, I took KiKi to the vet today and she has MILK!! I know ..I know it's not a big deal but it's kinda amazing to me...well her belly is getting bigger and bigger...the vet said she's probably going to be due by next friday, maybe sooner...so I am pretty excited and scare...I mean I really have no experiences in whelping and I have never seen one before....the vet said I can bring her in as soon as the temp drops , but what if it's in the middle of the nite?? So...here I am asking for all you breeders to help me , please!!! anything will help...even though it's common senses...haha.. well so far I have at least 3 vets number for emergency...towels, heating pads... anyway, help me !!! |

| Maybe it would help if you could tell us how you have prepared yourself so far for her whelping. I.e, what supplies you've bought, what experience you've had working with other breeders, etc. Then someone will know where to go from there. |

You should have read up on all of this BEFORE you even thought about breeding her. Now, she has 9 days left and you don't even know where to start??? There is SOO much info that you need to know and learn. But the only advice I can give you is to get someone that has done this before...even if it's a different toy breed. Just someone that knows what they are doing and keep your emergency numbers on hand. Best of luck

| Sounds like we are going to be having babies soon!!! Does that make all of us aunts? I am sure you will do a fantastic job and I know you have no worries about getting advice. Someone is always awake and ready to help!

Anyway, I would definately have someone experienced on hand. You said she will have a C-section at the vet? That is good. Best of luck to you. | |

| ok... ok, I do know where to start, i think i have to whole process front and back in my head, but I am just nervous ,that's why i am asking for as much help as I could, I arleady read like at least 3 yorkie whelping guides...3 other breed whelping books... seen at least 10 different live birth online, read more then 100 articles on whatever can happen during labor.....talked to as many vets there are in Waco and Temple, 2 other vets in New Jersey, the owner of spoiled rotten yorkies(a good friend of mines) ..but I just want to know more......and As I stated earlier, she's going to be DELIVERED in the vet no matter what, she's going there on Wednesday unless her temp drops earlier, so the vet can monitor her 24 hours.. and just incase of anything too... |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | so, she is going to have a c-section and your not going to try to free/assisted whelp? I know that you're going on the advice of your vet but I have to wonder why she is not able to free/assisted whelp.
