Another contraction 8:12pm and she did the thing like she was gonna poop for about 2 seconds...

Here is a pic of her resting before the contraction...

aww shes so cute I don't know anyrthing about breeding but i'm following your story..

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 08:29 PM

No hemostats, no string but i have a small pair of dull scissors and I will pinch the cord and then just cut??? Do you suggest I let her do it and just keep an eye on her?

Also, she had 7 contractions in a row...about a 15 minute break and now 8:26pm another. She just keeps circling the room with every one.

I am so sory I am babbling. She is now resting again.

Pinch and hold for a minute or two before cutting - dull scissors will work, but tearing is better if you can, the more "unclean the cut - jagged" the better because it will stop the bleeding. You could always just pinch it about one inch and see if Mom will chew it off. I let mine eat one placenta because I feel it stimulates milk production, but any more gives them diarrhea.

That bulge is really big - keep her walking as much as possible in case the baby is hung up and needs repositioning.

Thank you...

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 08:45 PM

Can you see any movement in the bulge? Do you think by looking at the size that it could be two puppies trying to present at once?

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 08:49 PM

Do you have any rubber gloves? You might need to insert a finger and see if you can determine what is going on - you might be able to feel the two different sacks if that is the case.

Any fluids leaking out at all? About how far is the bulge from the opening?

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 08:52 PM

She had 1 softer cotraction 8:38pm followed by another hard contraction 8:44pm.

The buldge in kina soft though...should it be?

When I feather I tickle towards the tail or away from it??

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 08:54 PM

Oops I did not see those last 2 posts...the bulge looks smaller now...like she sat in a funny position and it was just smaller all of the sudden...the buldge was about 1 inch from her opening (above it towards tail). I have gloves...no fluid leaking or anything. Still an occasional tinkle with most contractions

Earlier I saw movement between her hind leg and spine at het tail...

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 08:59 PM

Feathering is at the top of the vulva when in an upright position away from the tail. Definitely try feathering - I have never had one that close take so long to finish coming.

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 09:00 PM

Maybe it was two sacks and one has hopefully pushed it's way in front of the other.

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 09:03 PM

Really strong this time. I could see she was walking with her tail lower than her back like she was pushing...buldge is back. Tummy is moving and buldge is gona again...she just walked into her whelping box and layed straight down?????

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 09:04 PM

Uh oh...her little tinkles with each contraction do not smell like pee pee...should I worry? It is only a few drops with each contraction...

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 09:06 PM

How far are you from an emergency vet? This pup might be too big for her to pass. Keep feathering and see if she just needs stronger contractions, but I would be considering taking her in at this point because of her size. Does she appear to be in any pain?

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 09:09 PM

okay...I wish something different would happen already, lol...Buldge is back. I took another pic, look...

She is resting in her box still...
