I cannot help but respond...... :o :o I have bit my tongue a few times when "newbies" come here and ask questions., ask questions......ask for help.....only to get a reponse that is less than positive.... This site is to educate and discuss what we all can do for the breed. When you post a response.....read it two or three times.....and read it like it was written to you...instead of visa versa....before you press the submit button. I know sometimes we all get in a hurry to respond.....but, :eek: ...we are here to help......and none of us was born knowing everything..... (except my Mom of course, LOL) This is not meant to offend anyone.....just a little reminder.... |

I wish you the best!! I two was where you are on my first litter when she was having the first one I remember what I had study for a few years,Daisy was and is a great mother. I do know where you're coming from bless your heart.Best wishes |
the mom will most likely open the sac on her own, but, there are cases that she wont . here is a good page http://www.debbiejensen.com/whelping.html keep your vets number close just in case |

I have to agree with you on this one. Sometimes people get scared off to ask questions...afraid they'll get harrassed. This is a perfect example of that situation. Glad someone could offer some help and advice. :D |
Much appreciated.... Quote:
Oh gosh......its her again MY Mother!!!:lol tears |

That's exactly the way I feel. We either learn from others or from our own mistakes. :D |

There are even great whelping videos out there to purchase of actual births. Although I realize its getting to late. Try to relax (I know first hand its better said than done!) and I wish you the best for you and your baby! |
Do you have a vet or experience breeder near you that could help with this whelp while you watch? |
Thanx to you all for your advice and i will look at that site soon, its her 59th day today was up til 5.30 this morning with her shes been panting hard and hiding herself under her sleepingbag she is also weeing more and her stools are sloppy, these are all signs ye? i will keep you all informed lol yes i have my vets number handy think there sick of hearing my voice already Thankyou all again |
wow that sites great realy helpfull thankyou |
lillies having contractions,im going to be a grandmother soon,shes in second stage labour |
Please keep us informed! I'm excited and nervous for you! |
How exciting! Keep us informed. If you have any questions, ask away, someone online will help you. Good Luck, GRANDMA!!! |
how long will she have these contractions there every few minutes and strong but shes not licked herself or anything yet shes still laid down been getting them 55 mins |
It will vary. As with a human they are not all the same. Do you know how many pups she is expecting? How much does she weigh? How much did the sire of the pups weigh? When she is getting close to first delivery you should be able to both see and feel the first pup making its way into the pelvis just prior to birth. |
we have a water sac nearly out but a puppie sac is coming out with it, is that normal?? dont know how many babys the vet said atleast 3, she weighs 5.8kgs and the fathers 4.5kgs |
I am not quite sure what you mean? I have had puppies born with several sacs around the puppy itself. Just make sure that once the puppy is all the way out that the sac is removed quickly. My girls always let me do it. I am too nervous a person to wait for them to remove the sacs. I tie and cut the cords, suction the pup, clean it off and then give it to mom. That is my way. Maybe others prefer to let the mothers handle it. |
If you have a heating pad, put it on low and cover it with a towel so you can put the puppies on it while the mother is having the next pup. In the meantime let the mom nurse the pup until she is pushing for the next puppy. |
I see you are offline. I hope everything is okay. I will pray that all is going well and you will have lots of beautiful puppies soon. Please let us know if you need anything else. Good Luck. I will pray for you and check back later. |
got 2 upto now but 1 stillborn |

I don't know that much about it but isn't it a good idea to rub the stillborn with a towel or something to stimulate him and maybe get him going? Just a thought. Good luck! |
I worked on a puppy for 30 minutes once and was able to bring it around, rub it with a towel and hold it between your hands with head down and gently swinging it between your legs without being forceful and holding whole body helps to remove the fluid in the lungs. Also drying them with a low speed, low heat dryer helps to warm them up quickly. But with nature sometimes there is nothing that can be done and it is just that way. Not your fault. Sometimes a placenta will get torn away by a previous puppy and the puppy will suffocate before it is born. Other times who knows. Your doing great. Keep us updated. |
