Nothing to update on, STILL no puppies. My vacation ended and I had to go back to work, but my partner is home with her, and I guess she has not eaten all day and there were visable signs of contractions. Her belly was almost like waves from her chest to her stomach, and she would jump or shiver. I am assuming those are contractions. SOON I HOPE.... we figured it would be 6-12 if it took at the last of her breading so I would hope tomorrow. Her son from her last litter turns 1 year tomorrow. maybe it will be then she has them.

Hope to have more to update soon.

Thank you everyone for your help.

There are 4 little pups, all are doing well, 3 are 4 1/2 oz and 1 is 3 1/2 oz. We are so proud of Nelly, the previous owner said she never broke the sac on her own, well she did it all on her own with no help from us. YAY!!!!!!!

appletonboy · 09-11-2007, 02:24 AM

Do we need to do anything like let her go outside or is she going to be ok?

Sept 11th, the same day she had her litter last year!!

LillyH · 09-11-2007, 02:34 AM

That's fantastic! 4 babies is a perfect number, and they all sound like healthy sizes too! What a brave Mommy to do it all by herself. You should be so proud of her & yourselves too!
Wish I could be there to give great big hugs to all of you for a job well done

I'm just so glad I at least got to be here to share it with you

Now you should all be hopefuly ready for a nice long well deserved rest... give Mommy Nelly a little peck from me too if you think of it :-)

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU

Tina

Oh... yes of course, sorry about that. She will most likely look to you to let her out. She will also need some nutrition after all that work. Chicken noodle soup is a nice lite easily digested meal for her. Or you can mix some canned puppy food with a little water (mushy like cooked oatmeal).
Anything else, ask away... I'll wait by the puter for ya

appletonboy · 09-11-2007, 03:00 AM

THANK YOU !!!! We are so very proud of mommy. puppies are all doing well and feeding. We will get some pictures on here soon so you can all see the beautiful puppies!!

appletonboy · 09-11-2007, 03:03 AM

She has no interest in going outside now.. lol...she is just taking care of the pups. im just in awww of how well she did and this entire experience. We had teary eyes this morning.

LillyH · 09-11-2007, 03:06 AM

Can't wait to see the pics... congratulations again

I'm off to bed now, so you and all of your precious loved ones have a wonderful night & sleep well

LillyH · 09-11-2007, 03:11 AM

She'll let you know when she needs to go... no worries. It's 4am here, and I need to get at least some shut eye before work. I'm sure you are going to get bombarded by tons of responses in no time... so good luck & I'll be back on in the morning (couple of hours) to check in and see how you are all doing

Have a wonderful day enjoying those little sweeties

Congrats on the pups. Make sure mom gets plenty of calcium. There's a rescipe on here for whelping pudding and a cup of warm goats mild does great as well. She may not want to leave her pups at all today. Mine usually get breakfast in bed the first day or so. Sounds like she deserves to get spoiled a bit today.

Way to go Nellie! I am so proud of you, mama and all the babies. I knew it would be alright. Can't wait to see pictures. You need to have a vet appointment today for mama. They will give her an oxytocin shot to "clean her out". it's important so she doesn't get an infection from left over stuff from the whelping. I always take my girls asap after whelping. it is also a good time for the vet to check the babies out for you.
