| Sadie is at 60 days gestation today. I have a ? I am ready for the birth but am unsure about aspirating. I have only done this on my daughter before she leaned to blow her nose. Does this need to be done on every pup? When? How? Through nose or throat or both? Please, any info is greatly appreciated. I am so nervous. I have nevered delivered a litter on my own. Only helped when I was teenager, as my parents raised Chihuahua's. And I don't recall my father ever aspirating. Of course that was 15 years ago and can't remember all that anyway. Thanks for your time. |

| I was on that site all evening. It is really a good site too. Lots of information. I read on aspiration but am still not sure. Does anyone have any experience with it? |

| gestation No problem..don't worry. You can take it in both hands and swing it down through your legs, that draws out any fluid. Hold the pup with the head away from you. You can use a baby nose syringe..but I never have..mommy licks and rolls them around, they scream and the fliud comes out fine. It is not quite the same as a human baby aspirating..the mommie Yorkie roughs them up and moves them around and they cry. |

| Sadie is pushing like she is gonna have a major BM. She is in her welping box and lifts her tail and strains with every few minutes. Not really panting though. Not sure what to think, but they are getting harder . I have not seen any water sack as of yet and that worries me. |

| It's a girl! 4.3/8 oz. She squirt that green water and with a few pushes she was out. I think she ate the placenta. She was busy back there so long while we tied and cut. Now there is nothing hanging out. She cleaned up. |

| It's a boy. It looks as if he is trouble breathing. I tried the swing thing but don't know if I did it right. I could be me but seems to be gasping a bit. What should I do. |

| How do you know if they are breathing ok, or not getting enough O2? What to look for. I read it but some how I have forgotten most everything. He was born at 9:55 am. |

| His tongue is pink so I think he is fine. He ate just a bit and is now sleeping with his sister. We had a Xray a week ago and they saw maybe 5. So there is still some to go. |

| Congrats... have confidence in the mom she will do it all if you let her, watch her closely but let her do what she instinctively will do. Most moms will take care of everything including the cord. If she is stressing then give her some assistance. The less we intervene IMHO the better mom she will become. all the best to your new family
