Kadbury Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Wow what an exciting read. I just mentally did the delivery with you, I am so happy all went smoothly and for a first time delivery It was fantastic. You did a fantastic job and didn't panic with the short cord. Sorry about the little one Looking forward to pic updates when you get some sleep ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini girl Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Congratulations - I have tears in my eyes reading your post - know how you feel - they look wonderful - and I am sure you will cope very well - so sad when one doesn't make it - so many have been through this but sometimes its just natures way. Good luck but I feel you will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordogs Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Congratulations King, both you and your girl did well, 7 is a good number. :happydance: As for being calm I always feel just as you were feeling, believe me it doesn't matter how many litters you deliver it is always the same. My girls always manage to chew at least one cord down too far and panic stations, puppy squealing, mum trying to take back her baby and me trying to tie off or get forceps on a wriggling puppy to stop the blood from squirting. Hope you manage some sleep time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 only way it to have them in a towel between your knees, even then it is tricky, that;s why i have the clamps on hand. I've had a couple of short ones and sadly a couple to short to do anything with and lost the pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlemum Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It went really well...the first one i was like omg it is here had tiny little freak out because it didnt breath the secound the bag was broken screamed out to hubby to come help then i looked back and pup was doing little squeels (big relief then messaged to self now stay calm :D ...pup was all clean and when it didn't drink immediately when placed near teat another minor little freak out and call to breeder (who assured me it was perfectly normal and to just relax...thought okay cool will send out a text message no sooner finished that received reply and looked at mum just as another pup started arriving 20mins after first arrival...followed 6 mins later by number 3 (was way to busy to even think about having a stress by that time lol)...chord 3 chewed a touch to short and bleeding so tried to tye with floss (yer right hands shaking, puppy wiggling not a chance)...so put bull clip on but mum kept licking at it and knocking it...just then breeder calls for update and says to grap a small cloth and squeeze cord really tight for a minute or so which works a treat :-)an hour past before next pup....so far 2 girls and 2 boys so very excited...then another hour to relax and sort things out and number 5 another little boy arrives...an hour later another boy followed half hour later by number 7 another little girl...at this point i am thinking this is no where near as bad as i had imagined but sadly things did not continue to go smoothly and despite her breeder calling numerous times and getting updates and telling us what to do next three hours later the last little one arrived not breathing and despite spending 30mins trying to revive it...it wasnt to be...sadly we had to admit defeat What a gorgeous litter! Don't feel too bad about losing one - my Vet told me a long time ago that there's always a reason when 1 doesn't make it. Be glad you have 7 healthy pups & mum is coping well.

' i think they are very cute as well but i may be a little biased lol...i am thrilled with the 7 i do have they are adorable and i certainly waste a lot of time watching them wiggle about :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 fantastic. Its always so sad to lose one but for future I wouldn't try to revive & start breathing for 30 minutes. Scared that is too long without oxygen & brain damage may occur in that length of time. You will have lots of fun in a few weeks when they are up to mischief & all over the place.
