GOOD LUCK !! This is why I could never breed....I'd be a puddle on the floor and thinking the worst...I couldn't bear to see mine in distress....Is she feeling better ?? |
Thanks so much to everyone for their concern! :ghug: Lily is doing well. She has been eating about every 3 hours and is getting spoiled with all this soft food! :p She's been going outside everyday to run for a bit, but always wants to come in to check on babies. At night, she still pants a lot. I took the pups in today to get dew claws removed and tails docked. While I was there, I went ahead and had the vet check her calcium level, just in case. The vet called me and told me her calcium is perfect. :thumbup: She thinks she's just panting alot because she's hot, which is understandable. I'd be hot too with 5 little warm bodies constantly on me at all times when I'm trying to sleep. I think I"m a bit overprotective of Lily, but she's my baby and I don't want anything bad to happen to her! :) But, yeah, breeding is not easy! I am definitely NOT going to do this again and don't recommend it to anyone! OH and all the pups are doing okay. They've just been sleeping alot today and for good reason..... :) |
So glad everything is going well! Keep up the great job!:thumbup: |
:) Great glad to hear!Thank you for the update!Hope everything continues to go good!! |

I'm so glad to hear that she's doing better. The panting is very normal after delivery. They just get hot. They've got all their body heat, plus the heat from the puppies and the heat lamp or heating pad you've got her with. Always make sure her water is full too. Also, I don't understand feeding meals after they deliver.... why not just keep food available at all times? Then it's not a worry. I give my girls a bowl of cottage cheese every day after they deliver for extra calcium. |

Well, Lily is eating soft puppy food right now. If I left it out all day so she can free feed, then my other little stinker, Dexter, would gobble it all up before Lily even had a chance! ;) Not to mention soft food gets kinda gross if left out..... So yeah, that's why I do what I do. :) |
