Once my mother's temp has dropped and has stayed down for 12 hours, I usually bath mom using a medicated bath Yep! and it just starts with delivery portion. Get plenty of rest yourself, cause it just starts with the whelping. Watching, weighing pups, taking temps, making sure each nipple is nursed on and puppies are getting enough, puppies aren't getting chilled. Making sure mom isn't upset or stressed, keeping her and babies confined and away from other dogs. Taking mom out to potty, making sure her nipples are cleaned. I strongly suggest that the mom be taken to the vet for an Posterior Oxytocin Pituitary (POP) shot 24-48 hours after delivery Oh! Make sure that placenta's delivered too.

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I shaved my girls belly and will do it again. Her body is only about 1 1/2 inches right now. What about fleas? I'm having an issue right now and don't know what to do because I didn't want to treat her. any advice? |

| I'd contact your vet and get advice on what to do. Bathing her in Mild Dishwashing soap(DOVE) can help. Fleas can cause anemia and tapeworms if she ingests them. So do whatever you can to get rid of them. Make sure all her bedding is washed and kept as clean as possible. Vacume the area daily and empty the vacume cleaner bag after doing it.

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Thank you! and of course all my dogs have them. I think I'm going to have to bomb the house (after getting everyone out) wash everything, vaccumm like you said and treat everyone but her and wash all the bedding and see if that helps. I have to wait till the weekend though to do it because of work. Thanks!!! |

I use Bio-Groom Flea and Tic shampoo on dogs that have a problem. I strongly suggest that you put a topical on the rest of the dogs (not whelping mom though). Bombing your house is a good step, but the yard must be treated too....... and done again in a month.

| you may want to ask your vet for revolution...it helps with a sundry of things fleas heartworm some worms mites sarcoptic mange its also safe for pregnant or nursing moms buy the largest breed tubes then have your vet break down the dosage per lb...its far less expensive and most effective. You should treat every month for 3 months

10th........each delivery is different. Make sure that you've notified your vet and find out if he'll be available should anything go wrong, or for questions. Oh! Here's a couple of recipes for mom after she's whelped, she'll need some energy. 1 Can of Goates Milk mixed with equal parts of water 1 Egg Yolk (beat) 1 tablespoon of Karo Syrup. (I give this to my moms right after whelping) Post Whelping Pudding 16 oz water 1 pkg unflavored Knox Gelatin (micro to dissolve) 15 oz can evaporated milk 2 Tablespoons vanilla yogurt 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons white Karo Syrup mix all ingredients in bowl let set in fridge until thickened. Spoon out as needed (I use for weaning and for tiny puppies for supplimental feeding) Good Luck and remember if you need help, don't hesitate to ask.
