| Roxie got eclampsia with her last litter, there were 7 pups. Don't give her calcium suppliments until after the pups come. One tums a day and a bit of cottage cheese with her puppy kibble is good while nursing. Watch her for any signs of weakness or shaking. Make sure there is food and water available to her night and day while she's nursing such a large brood. Tehy go down very quickly with eclampsia so make sure that you can get a hold of your vet 24/7. Have goats milk puppy suppliment or whelping pudding available to her during whelping and some nutracal on hand as well. She'll need all the energy she can get! Good luck with your big litter. Have a beautiful whelping.

| So glad to hear that Pippin is doing well. We have made it though another day. Lexie is panting a lot, and will drink whenever I offer her the bowl of water, but just doesn't like to get up and get it herself sometimes. Lex got me up this morning at 4:30, and I thought things were going to start, but she went outside, we took a small walk, she came back in, ate breakfast, and sprawled out on the tile and went to sleep.....and I was UP!!!! Family was here for dinner and they are all saying she will deliver tonight. Daughter's bf said it was going to be tonight because of the way she was laying with her whole belly on the tile. I just nodded. She has layed that way for the last 2 weeks!!!! LOL I have taken more pictures and will post after they get sized!! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Our house is just full if anticipation and excitement.

| I HAVE A "LEXI" DUE JULY 19TH TOO!! O Mercy..... Hi. I'm new to the forum, but wanted to say GOOD LUCK with Lexie's delivery! I too have a Lexi that is due on the same day! Gosh, I am a nervous wreck as this is her first litter and I'm pretty certain, I won't be going thru this again! My nerves are shot and have prayed that all goes well until I've got carpet burns on my knees!! hahah I'm a nurse and have assisted in delivery of babies...but never yorkies! GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND I'LL SAY A PRAYER FOR U AND YOUR LEXIE! One more carpet burn won't hurt anything! Hope all goes well. Barb ~ |

Wow! What a coincidence. I wish your Lexie a smooth delivery as well. It is a little nerve wracking, I must admit.

| Charlene, Am away this weekend at a softball tournament but checking on Lexie today. Hope all is going well for you and that she will deliver soon. I love free hotel internet. Will check back when we get home tomorrow. Best of luck. You can get nutrical at most pet stores. Just ask at the store. |

| Lexie appreciates all the positive vibes. Day 59 has come and went and nothing. She is still eating, drinking water, and finding it hard to get up from a laying down position. She is panting a lot, but has done that for the past week!! I promise to keep all posted!!!
