Hershey's having contractions! So far they're 10 minutes apart. How long do I let her go safely before calling a vet. Is it an hour after 1 min contractions? |
Can I turn the lights on, or should I keep it dark? |
Depends on how far you are from the vet. She'll be fine for an hour, then you need to call your vet for consult, if you live further away you want to start earlier to plan for the drive. Lights are fine, however both of you feel comfortable. Unless they're way bright, she won't mind. Hope things go smoothly for you! |
Any puppies yet? |
I see the water sac - this is after 2 hours of contractions (every 10 min). Is this normal? How's she doing? |
It's common to see the water sac for quite some time before the puppy comes, They're on their way everything sounds like it's going fine. |
the plestenta is still inside...what do i do?? |
That's fine, just make sure the puppy is okay, breathing, fluids suctioned out of mouth nose and throat. She'll deliver the placenta shortly. Have you cut the cord yet? |
Hershey just took over - she's a good momma! Puppy #1 - male - born 6:10 - 6 oz Puppy #2 - male - born 6:25 - 5.5 oz I had her x-rayed - 2 more to go! |
This is soooo exciting!!! Can't wait for the other 2 to make their appearance.:) |
omg u must be so excited me too just reading it keep us postred hun.. i have some due on the 5th so i will want all ur experiences for help lol gl with mommma and the new babies... |
WONDERFUL!!!!! It is such a blessing when everything comes naturally to the mother. Will definetly be checking back!!!:thumbup: :thumbup: |
I have been keeping up with this thread, Cograts :animal-pa on the first two and will wait to see what the next to are, Glad the mom and pups are o.k Please keep us update :aimeeyork |
Any more? |
It's been almost an hour since the last one was delivered....nothing yet....should I be worried? |
One of the pups doesn't seem to be nursing, but he seems healthy...moving around quit a bit. What should I do? Give him some time? |
whelping I would not be concerned...no doubt one side of the horn had two and now the other two are in the opposite horn...if she is resting and not in distress, wait a bit..she will start again I am sure. |
No need for concern right now for the next one, give her some time. meanwhile, you can work with the one that's not latching on, place him right up to the nipple, he should start rooting around for it. If not, pry his mouth open an put him on. He'll catch on soon, when he's hungry that's for sure |
any news yet?? i am so excited for you lol!!!:D |
it's been 3 hrs since the last one was born. she's having contractions and she's calm, so I'm assuming she's o.k.? |
I would call your vet. She may need a shot to help her along. |

I agree, call your vet and see what he wants to do. They may want to give a shot to make the contractions stronger. Or he may want you to wait it out, but nows the time to find out what's next. Glad she's doing well. |
hershey had her other 2 pups.........she had 2 boys and 2 girls |

I had just gotten off the phone with the vet, when to her pen and one pup was already out the next one followed immediately. I was just about to take her to the vet! She's being such a good momma. |
Glad to hear the good news!! |
:animal36 One of the pups havent latched on yet what should i do?? |
Keep working with it. Make sure it is warm. Open it's mouth and put it directly on. Congrats on the litter! I'm glad she didn't have to go to the vet! |
Congratulations!!!!! For the one that doesn't want to latch on....sometimes you really have to work at it. First get some milk to come out of a teat. Gently open the pup's mouth (from the sides). Place the pup's mouth over the teat. Do this over and over. Sometimes if the teat is a little flat it is necessary to help maneuver it into a shape appealing to the pup. Before gently prying the mouth open method, I always start with this method... Pups tend to push upward with their muzzles. I place the pup's nose beneath the teat and it should push upward...again...do this over and over. If this doesn't work after you think your back is about to break, stand up, stretch, and try some more. Then if that doesn't work I do the method I mentioned first in this post. I have never had one that didn't latch on eventually. Once they do, you shouldn't have any problems...they know where their next meal comes from:) . |
