| whelped on day 54! help.... Hello everybody..... Last night was just horrible. My husband and I went out to have drinks with a friend turning 40. Everything was fine. We came home early because I didn't like leaving Mae home since it was close to her day. My Mae was due on the 18th. I still had over a week to go.........I came home and she was acting normal.... my hubby and I got pizza and was going to snuggle in bed and watch a movie and eat pizza. I took Mae up with us and again.... normal, normal, normal. This is her 3rd litter... she has done this before.....no problem.... ALL on time. So anyway..... we were starting the movie and Mae was right next to me...... I look down cause I hear her chewing on something and I see a baby in her mouth!!!!!!! Oh my god.... she was trying to break the sack.... I took it from her and starting working on him and he was still. He didn't look alive coming out and I knew with the date.... it was tooooo soon. So I assumed the other 2 were going to be still as well. She whelped the next within minutes without problems.... and I grabbed her and took her to the bathroon..... she was moving so I tied and cut and took her mucous out..... and I gave her back to mom and the next one was here too and I did the same....... the last 2 girls are alive. I spent the night nursing every hour and kept them warm. They look very undeveloped and I know they may not survive. But they lasted through the night and are still very strong. I've never delivered puppies this early and I don't know wht this happened. I guess it's life.... but has any breeders bred this early? And have they survived? Is there something special I should do? They seem to cry a lot more than a normal litter. Any advice or suggestions would be apprieciated! |

| litter I wish I could be of help...all you can do is make sure they are warm and fed. Do you know how to tube feed? Taking them out to the vet would surily stress them even more, so I am not big on vet intervention at this point, unless you want them to tube feed them...at this stage, they will even make it or they will not..I wish you all the best. |

| Hello how are the babies doing this morning? She sure had them early ..are you sure of the dates?... I don't know what to tell you,..but to keep them warm and make sure they nursing. You may have to make a run to the Vets office, so they can show you how to tube feed them... If they are not able to nurse on there own. I'm not sure what the chance are for them since they are so early..maybe one of the other breeder will be on soon who has dealt with this... I hope all go well. |

| I used to raise Poms and I had a litter that was 13 days early. I know this sound unconventional but it worked for me. I had a cat that had a litter of kittens 2 days before. Only one of the pups was born alive and I gave the pup to the cat. She took it in and nursed it. She could tell it was not like her other babies and was super protective of him. That pup celebrated his 7th bday this Jan. If you do not have a cat--call the vet and see if he knows of where one might be that has just given birth. The cat owner would probably be willing to give it a go! Good Luck! |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Keep us updated. I've seen pups at that stage and frankly, they reminded me a lot of pinkies. Very underdeveloped, had not hair. Hugs are coming your way! If they do pull through, I'd keep them as well...miracle babies!
