kelpiesrule Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Congrats Shelbyville ! I hope everything keeps going well... nice size litter Hey MM, i hope things get easier for you and your babies soon, that would be hard having to bring up babies without too much help from the mother... ive been blessed with my litters so far, the only problem one was my little single boy, but all went well after the caesar and his mommy took very good care of him ! My thoughts are with you. Whelping fairy has been sent your way Ozstar ! Hoping all goes well today with gorgeous Scarlett. My babies are doing well, I have a little girl i need to keep an eye on, she was the smallest born and isnt gaining as well as the others, but she is drinking well and seems content enough. The others are turning into little porkers. Amazing just what a couple of days can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziah Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Nawwwww they are so cute, they look to be so big, imagine trying to squish them all back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbyville Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 They are all good sized pups averaging between 430 - just over 500 grams, with one little boy of 350 grams! I don't think the mum would be too impressed if we tried to put them back in, she is very glad it is all over. I have a photo of her during the labour, resting her head on the side of the whelping box...too cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMonaro Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Shelbyville - beautiful babies Kelpiesrule - should of known....purple basket..... Pups are gorgeous Oztar - Congratulations on the arrival of your new babies too. Hope you get more sleep than we have had. Our girl is still not toileting her babies, and the 4 black ones are slow to feed. Suprisingly the smallest black girl has got the hang of it quicker than the other 3....but we decided to go to the vet and get a shot of liquid and have started them on a bit of beef liver remedy. 2 of them are now latching and feeding with help, so thats a bit easier. The other 2 are still being difficult and we are bottle feeding. The vet has said if no change by tomorrow morning for me to go down and he'll teach me how to tube feed. Its just like having a baby all over again with the wiping butts, sterilising bottles, making up formula, and feeding every couple of hours.

Mjosa Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 KelpiesRule, Shelbyville, Miss Monaro and Ozstar congratulations to all of you and your beautiful new Mums and Bubs, those that have posted pics, how could you not just love those beautiful bubbas, nothing more precious than new babies. Kelpiesrule I had a small bitch in this litter of Frenchies, I was so concerned about her being so tiny born, but by gee she knew exactly where the milk bar was but even so at the beginning did not gain weight as fast as the others, it took until day five that I all of a sudden saw that she was gaining weight at a good rate. They are now three and a half weeks old she is first in to the milk bar and as of yesterday, because there are seven of them, I have started giving them two meals a day one of mince and the other chicken mushed up in the broth that it was cooked in, and she is now very hard to pick from the rest of them, the give away is the dot on tha back of her neck.

Ozstar Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 A few pics of the pups. Pups are feeding well and Scarlet is slowing getting the hang of being a mother. Pups birth weights ranged from 390 - 410 grams, nice big babies these 3 like the milk and refuse to leave Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
