i have done this several times and I can help. but excuse me for being rude, but why havent you researched this already??? also it would be better to have a mentor in person like a breeder or a vet.

if you haven't already, go to www.debbiejenson.com there are step by step instructions to go by and get you some index card and make short notes on each page to keep with you when she goes into labor. I have been researching on this site as it is the best one for whelping puppies. My dog is due in two weeks and i am sure i will be very nervous and forget half what I learned when it comes time but that is a wonderful site. Good luck

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,

...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....

newmommy · 08-11-2006, 05:05 PM

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.

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

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!

txshopper73 · 08-11-2006, 08:06 PM
