HI Sharon, I wish I could help, but Sunshine never had a mucus plug come out. At least not one that I could see. She did have a mucusy discharge for a couple of days before she had the puppies, but it wasn't something that came out all at once. Hopefully someone with a lot more experience than me can tell you more. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hopefully someone more informative can help you...I wish I had some answers for you!! Hopefully she will have an easy whelp!! I will be here through the whole thing though...waiting and waiting along with you!!

Wow, you guys are so sweet. Thank you for all your support.

Was ther around a half cup of fluid when you say it burst? If it was the sac that burst you may be looking at a dry birth. Is there a bulge under her tail?

Whew Im glad someone posted who knows their stuff!! Hopefully she will reply soon!!

We have puppies
 

Okay well here is the long awaited update. I brought her home from work and she was having a hard time with the first puppy. I look at her back side and I can see these two little back paws hanging out.

So I called the vet the very first thing. Tinkerbell was pushing, but nothing was happening. I tried everything that they suggested including trying to pull it out with a contraction. Nothing worked. So we started to the vets. On the way there I look down and there is this black slimy ball. I break the bag and Tinkerbell helping and the tail starts to wag!!! It is alive. WooHoo!!!

We get to the vet and they cut the ambilical cord and give Tinkerbell a shot to help out. We waited and waited and nothing happened. They took her in the back room examined her again. The doctor came out and informed us that we needed to have a C-section otherwise we would lose the mother and the rest of the puppies. I told them to go ahead and do it.

45 minutes later I am informed that all 5 of the puppies are doing great and that Tinkerbell is doing fine. WooHoo!!! I have five new little yorkie lives in this world. They are so perfect. I will be adding many photos for everyone to enjoy.

I did get some film footage, but not what I would have hoped for. Which is okay with me. At least all the puppies and Tinkerbell are great and kicking. The coming months are going to be great.

Thank you for everyones information with helping me welp for my first time. The support was much appresiated.

:ghug: :cheer: :ghug: :cheer: :ghug:

Oh and anothing thing that I forgot. I think that we have partial party yorkies. We have a white patch of fur on, I believe 2 of the puppies chests.

congrats!!!
 

Congratulations on your new puppies!!! Glad everthing went good and mom and pups are ok. To bad for the c-section, but at least you got in to see your vet. Some white on the chest is common in newborns and will fade to tan when they get older, unless the white is really big. Lynn

That is a picture of a puppy pile!!!!

Congrats on the puppies!! I cant wait for pics!!

The good pictures are on here of the puppies and Tinkerbell. I hope that this works.

Woohoo. More Yorkies in Alaska! Those pictures are GREAT! Congratulations!
Here are a few resized.

Whoa, I was so excited to see the pics that I didn't read the story. Wow, what an adventure. I'm so glad you got her to the vet in time.

Thank you so much for resizing those for med. Photobucket was just not cooperating with me. You are going to have to show me how to do that. Well I am off to go pick up my new babies. Talk to everyone in the morning. Night alaskayorkie.
