5 NEW Puppies! First litter here! Born tonight. 5 from a 5.5 lb mom and 3.8 lb dad. Overall had 3 girls, 2 boys. Started at 8:05 pm and last one delivered at 11:00 pm. Pretty quick if you ask me. :) 2 came out feet first...otherwise pretty uneventful. Mom's doing well. Puppies seem to be doing well so far. Girl - 8:05 - 2.9 oz Boy - 8:15 - 4.9 oz Boy - 8:50 - 4.0 oz Girl - 10:40 - 2.5 oz Girl - 11:00 - 3.2 oz Anybody got any tips I might not have thought of for quints? I have done a TON of research, just asking for things that I might not have thought of for this amount of pups. I never imagined my girl would have this many her first time around! Don't know why it never hit me that it could happen, just never thought it would. *shrug* Anyway, fingers crossed for good outcomes for all. :aimeeyork |
Congrats! I'm so Glad everyone is fine. I don't know how big your mama is but with larger litters you must make sure mama is getting enough calcium. Also keep an eye on the runts if there are any. I like to supplement them if needed. Good Job. :thumbup: |
Wow how exciting. Congrats on the new Puppies. Im so glad Mommy and babies are all doing good. |
Wow, great group you have there. Glad mom and pups are doing well. Just make sure you keep them warm and plenty of food from mom. Good luck! Get pics as soon as possible. ummm puppy breath, how sweet! |
2 Attachment(s) Congrats! I had a litter of 5 girls last year. My best advice is get some rest before the are up and walking around. You'll be changing pee pads around the clock..lolol. Here is my litter of 5, first pics is newborns, 2nd they are piled up for a nap..lolol. Make sure to post pics! |
Good luck! WOW, five puppies, how wonderful!! All the best to you and your little momma! Irene, great puppy pile! :p |

Congratulations! Can't wait to see them grow up! |
Congratulations on the pups...... glad to hear they are all doing well!!! :) |
congrats on the new kids. Make sure give mom plenty of natural calicum like cottage cheese, yogurt and goats milk. I also give 1/2 calcium tums in the morning and 1/2 at night every day while nursing. If you need to suppliment the pups, suppliment the larger ones not the smaller ones, let the tinier ones have the teat, the larger ones get the bottle. good luck post pics when you can |
Congrats on the new babies!!! Post pics when you get the chance :) Irene, Your puppies are soooo cute...I LOVE the puppy pile picture...that is one of the cutest pictures I have ever seen :) :) :) |
It must be amazing to be right in the middle of "the action" . . . and witness EVERYTHING . . . .Congratulations! I am sure you are ecstatic and relieved that the delivery process is now over and everything went so well. Irene, thanks for sharing your pictures. I think they are sooo adorable, especially the 2nd one - so precious! |
Hi Amanda! Congratulations on a successful delivery of 5 happy healthy pups! Wow! Amazing and so happy for you to have such a large litter first time around! Chloe is only expecting 2 maybe 3. Can't wait to see pics! Vivian |
3 Attachment(s) Thanks sooo much for all the well wishes and the tips! They are sooo well accepted! :) Here's a few pics of the crew. Oh...and so far, they're holding their own pretty well. Noone lost more than 1/5th of an ounce, so they're still ranging from 2.7 oz to 4.8 oz. HOORAY! :) Mom's doing a WONDERFUL job! She's very protective of the pups, but knows that I'm there to help her. She's taking care to keep them warm, clean and well fed all day and night long. Thank heavens! Lord knows I was up all night making sure of it too! hehehehe Oh yeah, and the ones that were feet first, just kept coming out that way...I did push one of the feet back up inside before it came out by itself, but to no avail, it came out by itself anyway....it was just happening all so very fast, and I guess there was just no time for turning. Vet said that was totally normal for that to happen (feet first) and not to worry. She didn't seem to handle it badly, guess it just caught me by surprise. |
they are such cute babys :) :) |
Good thing you had several colors of yarn.. :D Congrats! |
