Allerzeit Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yay! That puts her at the beginning of the normal whelping range! Hopefully she can hang on for a few more days, bel, and you have lovely, healthy wrigglers and a happy mumma dog at the end of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigirl Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wow Nova is looking round! Nyx yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bel Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Miss Beth's progesterone results this morning was 13 but by lunch time she wasn't looking too good very heavy panting and just not herself. As I work in a vet clinic, I spoke with my vet and we decided to do the Caesarian this afternoon so at 4 pm we welcomed 7 healthy baby shih Tzus. 3 boys and 4 girls. Beth is home on a drip and has taken to cleaning and feeding her babies really well. They are all a little unsettled still but are getting better as time goes on.

Allerzeit Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 7!? Is that unusually large for a small breed? Wow, Beth - you must have been so full, darling! Glad to hear that they've arrived and all are healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bel Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I have had 8 pups before with a shih Tzu litter. But yes it is a large litter. Mum is very unsettled at the moment but she is cleaning and feeding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Awww - Nyx is such a sweetie! Hope Beth settles a bit today :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Nova today at 7 weeks :) Plus her with her balloon - she loves balloons, but gets confused when they suddenly disappear :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschlachter Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Congrats bel, so glad they are healthy and doing well :) Nynx looks very well too. Allerzeit we have a tummy that 100% corresponds with yours!! :D And GUESS WHAT I SWEAR I saw the lil' aliens this morning!! It was so cool. I though maybe I wouldn't see them for another week, but I'm really sure I saw it- not just getting too excited I promise. Kinda like watching a fishpond and seeing the fish swimming just below the surface, but rippling the water. I'll take some more pics of Lei tonight- she is really getting pretty whale-like. I was guessing 12, but I think there might be more..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 You should be able to start feeling faint movements now, eschlachter - and it is totally possible that you saw them too :) Just rest your hands oh so gently on her belly, while she's on her back and you might feel little flutters :D You may even get a good kick now and again! In a weeks time, you will be easily seeing and feeling movement :) I think that Nova is no larger than her mother was at the same stage, although she has gained more weight than her mother. Feonix had 7, so I'm putting Nova somewhere between 8 - 10 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschlachter Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I think, because she was lying on her side, the skin was stretched downwards across her tummy and the bubbas were close to the surface- hence ripples and one distinct kick out! The o/h didn't believe me though lol and of course when he looked she rolled over :) Can't wait to get home from work and spend the next 6 hours tummy watching (and patting)!! Ahh, oh dear.... :laugh: I really don't want her to have 14 I should add, 8 would be plenty!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allerzeit Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Looking good! :D Nothing wrong with a bit of gratuitous setter, either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigirl Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Congrats bel, 7 live pups is a fantastic result. Nyx is finally slowing down a bit and her milk is coming in. Only a few days to go now. I will be relieved when it's over. I also get anxious when a girl is due to whelp. This is litter no.7 for me but it never gets any less stressful.

Allerzeit Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hope Beth and her babes are going well, bel! :) How exciting, indigirl :D Almost time for Nyx to pop (I'm totally stealing that name one day, I love it!) We have puppies kicking all over the place now, and can now see movement :) Not exactly looking like her usual, svelte self! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigirl Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Nyx is the goddess of the night., I've also got Venus the goddess of love and I had a Luna the goddess of the moon .. Are we seeing a theme here yet? LOL. Nyxxy Is my foundation bitch so she's pretty special to me. She wasn't settling last night so I brought her into my bed around 3am. She settled immediately but I'm pretty sure she's in pain/discomfort poor baby. Hoping she might whelp tonight. Nova looks to have a bellyful of pups there!
