  1. Hi there, Have a small situation here... We have an 8 year old gold Labrador male who was not desexed due to being registered or something (mum knows more than I do about it!) and a 12-14 month old bitch who is of uncertain breeding - she looks like a black Labrador with a slender build. She's actually a Rhodesian Ridgeback cross. Anyway, she's kept away from our male, and even with all hands on deck with the dogs we still found them 'stuck' some 2 months ago. Anyway, the expert, Mum... has gone into hospital unexpectedly today (for the millionth time!) and we've got one very very pregnant bitch with milk coming from her nipples in our laundry. And I don't really know what to do... Mum had it all planned, and as far as I know she was just going to have her in the laundry to whelp. I've situated some hessian bags on the floor under an old sheet between the washing mashine and the wall - probably about a 1.5 meter square area. Do I need to sit up with her? I've read that the pups need to be put on some form of heat pad thing whilst she finnishes whelping - should I get that ready for her? How long does it usually take after the milk appears?
