should i not handle them?


when they are first born only if they need to be stimulated but they need to form a bond with mama its ok to like rub your finger down there back cause i know all to well how hard it is not to wanna love those babies lol but i don't recommend picking them up for the first couple days after that i would start cause they need humane interaction to not be scared around us so yea go ahead rub there heads stuff like that!

brenna...dont leave me!!!!!!!!!! what do i do once the pups are out? will she feed them and handle it?


the babies will naturaly go to a nipple but sometimes they can't latch on so you can help by movin the hair away from the nipple and tryin to get the pup to latch on

i had her trimmed close so that it would be easier to keep clean and the nipples would be easier access

my dog i think is going into labor, im not sure. ive made her a bed in the bottom of my closet. she keeps trying to get under the sofa. i finally had to put her in my room and shut the door. i cant get to her under the sofa if she should need my help. is it ok to put her in a room? i put out water and keep check on her. im freakin out cuz ive never done this before. how do i know if she is in labor? are there signs? i feel stupid, but ive not done this.


There is a website that describes the gestation and delivery. I just put reproduction of dogs in the search window. I did it a while back so I do not have the direct link but try that on your computer, it will help. I remember it can take a while too.

all vets will try to get you to come in thats alot of money for them! lol and what they would do would be to take x-rays to see how many pups she has in her and then they would put her in a quite cage and keep an eye on her. yea vets can be buttheads i know how it feels not to be able to pay for a vet up front! they can be just as much blood suckers as doctors can be lol and lawyers haha

her breathing is now very heavy and panting, she is shaking alot, wants to sit in my lap, eyes are watery looks like crying...her tummy has dropped alot and sort of balled up, her area is swollen up but not seeing any leakage yet. i have a friend coming over i think to help, she is good friends with a woman who breeds and will have her on the phone to walk us thru this.
