How do I know if she's done or not. The last pup was born at 11.54 and she has pushed out 3 placentas but she is still panting but she's not pushing.

Your vet didn't do an x-ray right?? Can you feel any more pups in her tummy?? Panting is very normal after whelping. Give her some ice cream, yogurt or whelping pudding to help nourish her. 3 babies and 3 placentas counted thats excellent work!!

Are all 3 pups nursing well??

[baby crazy]

yes allthre puppies are nursing. no the vet didn't do xrays and yes I gave her ice creamin between each pup and just about ten minutes ago.

Alot of times it feels like there is one more in there, but its just her uterus. It does sound like shes done having them. I suggest waiting and watching her to see for sure. Make her some whelping pudding while you wait. If shes not pushing or showing any signs of hard labor then she is done. You did a great job!!

Post Whelping Pudding

16 oz. water
1 pkg. Knox Gelatin
(micro. to disolve)
15 oz. can evap. milk
2 tabls. vanilla yogurt
2 egg yolks
2 tabls. white corn syrup
mix all ingred. in bowl let set in fridge
until thickens. Spoon out as needed.

Here's another to give to mom immediately after whelping

1 can of goats milk
equal parts of water
1 egg yolk
1 table spoon of Karo syrup.

Helps to get her strength back. Place a bowl right up to her and she'll lap it right up.

Both of the recipes help with milk production.
