Whelping Questions???? Ok, She-Ra and Harley have successfully tied today. I am not getting my hopes up, yet. But I have a few questions... what do I need for a whelping kit. Last time I has some surgical gloves, Ky Lub, towels, sterilized scissors, water, and a few more. Is there more to have?? I am going to call his aunt closer to time, she will be here in case I need her. What whelping book do you guys recommend? Oh, I am trying not to get excited but it's so hard!!!! :p |
Don't forget a bulb syringe for removing fluid from mouth and nose. Have a heating lamp or pad to keep pups warm between births. Hemostats to clamp umbilical cords before cutting and tying. If I think of anything else I'll let you know. Good Luck |
Bulb I got, forgot about that! Where can I get hemostats? Medical supply store?? |

You just tie them off? |
Hey Amanda..Congrats hope the tie took and you'll have little furbabies running around..Here is a good a link to a list Robbie butterfly yorkies put up. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...965#post344965 My female should be coming into her 2 heat in May. I'll see if my male is a Stud or a DUD.. :teethysmi |
In saw them again while they were out pottying...neighbors got a peep show!! I hope it takes, she is such a good mommy! Thanks for the link, I printed it off and put it in my breeder journal! |
I actually got a hemostat from a fishing supply store. Also I recomend lots of washclothes- I used white ones so I could make sure the stuff on the pups wasn't a strange color.. and the washclothes are smaller and easy to use when cleaning up. Good luck :) edited to add, I got the cheap washclothes that come in a pack of 10 or so at wallmart, they are thinner and easier to use, and cheap enough to throw away. |
Please make sure to hold your female during a tie...they can drag each other around and get injured. |

So far they have done this 3 times! |
HeHe!!!!!!!!!!! he is having a lot of funnnnnnnnn. You will soon have some babies for sure. Silk is supposed to come in about April (I think) and Ceeby will be old enough to register but I am going to hire her a stud. She has champion bloodlines and I'm afraid ceeby will shoot blanks the first time because he is so young. i don't want to miss her getting bred. |
Amanda, Hope you get babies soon! My Little-Bit is due around the 17th of March. I am getting excited. Little-Bit is 7 lb, my male is 4 lb., I had to put him on two pillows, he has such short legs. :) This was his first time and man, did he have fun. :tongue: |
I breed my two on Jan 8 and 9 but so far shes not looking like shes preg. |

Anyway, yes, I tie them off about an inch from the pup's belly and cut the cord (with non-sharp child's scissors) on the bitch's side. :) The floss hardens up and falls off with the cord. |

Give it time...she may be just not showing anything yet. Maybe she has just a couple and they are small right now. Does her stomach feel like it's getting hard, (tight) ? |
