shellbyville Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well so far we have 5 puppies, 3 black girls, 1 yellow boy and 1 black boy. She still has a few more, but is doing such a good job. She is resting between pups, which are approx. 30 - 40 minutes apart and pups are strong, sucking really well. We are stoked here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellbyville Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 One more big yellow boy. She had a good rest between the 5 and the last and should have another very soon. My prediction is 8 or 9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstar Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Still nothing here She was going to the toliet more but is now refusing to get out the box Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbyville Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Good luck Ozstar. My girl has slowed down a bit, but there are still a few more in there. So we will both be having no sleep tonight. Also my girl is a bit overwhelmed with the puppies, but is a text book whelper, just not as maternal as I would hope. She has had a litter before, and wasn't great with pups, but I thought that was just from being a maiden, but looks like she is going to be the same again. It took her a few days to really settle with the pups last time, but she eventually came good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Scarlet will be a good mum, she has stuck her head into the other box with Storm's babies (when Storm was outside) and has tried to toilet them. Still waiting here, she hasn't started pushing yet and babies are very active. Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbyville Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Yellow girl born at midnight. I think that may be it. She feels empty, but I have said that before and then the bitch has delivered another one. She seems much happier now though. I will keep a very close eye on her with pups, but I think she will recover quickly and be fine. Good luck with your girl, hope all goes really well for you. Edited to say that the little girl was born outside while taking mum for a toilet break. She squatted and I caught her just in time. Walking her around between some of the pups definitely helped I think. Edited December 2, 2009 by shellbyville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMonaro Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Congrats Shelbyville.....sounds like all has gone well for you. Hope all the new puppies for everyone are doing well and the new mums to be are progressing along good too. I'm very tired and hoping that our girl will start toileting her own babies soon. I'll pop back in tomorrow and see if anyone else has any more updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbyville Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Whoops, make that 8, a black boy born at 2.30am. My palpating of the abdomen/uterus skills obviously are not very good. She had a hard time delivering him. He had come out of his sack and his mouth was wide open and his bottom jaw was caught and her pushing wasn't making it any easier. Sorry to be so graphic! However I read about this very thing online today, doing a bit of a refresher before the big event and one site said this exact thing could happen. I had to push him back a bit before he could come out. He was very limp for awhile but came good and was quite snuffly for a bit, I guess he swallowed quite a lot of fluid, with his mouth open and mum pushing him like that. Poor little guy, but after a bit of gentle persuasion he had a suck and seems fine. Now I am not so confident there isn't more in there, so maybe sleep will be awhile off yet.

shellbyville Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well still 8 here, no more, and no sleep either. Pups have been a bit restless, but are feeding well, so hopefully today they will settle a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopperlodge Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) So far seems everyone is getting a pretty even split with the boys/girls, hope that happens for mine.
