Me too. I keep checking every ten minutes. I'm assuming since we haven't heard anything that she's taken her in. 

This is a nail biter :-)

I am sure glad I was young when I started all this...I would have a heart attack now...I get so emotionally attached and since I am not there....I know nothing.....

I am positive she is at vets....she had plans to post as things went along...her plans had the computer in garage and all set up...

I hope everything is ok...the vet will probably assist and make sure things are ok..if not c section and that is a hard thing to overcome...you have to make the pups suck and when she awakes you have a surprised bitch with a surgery to overcome

hope he just gets the pups delivered..

Ok guys we went to the ER and they checked her calciums levels and took an x-ray and sent us home! Everything is ok!!!! We got back home around 11pm and she had her first girl at 1:14am and her second girl at 1:52am!!!! She is doing great seems a little rough with them but isn't hurting them. She isn't letting them eat right now she is tring to keep them under her head. How soon do they need to eat???? OMG this is sooooo exciting!!!!

And then there were 2 :-)

1st female 500grams 2nd female was smaller at 400grams

Take her collar off
 a pup can get caught in it

You may  have to make her lay down and just pups up to her calm her and tell her  let them eat now

That is the problem I had with one of mine
they ought to be eating within few minutes of each other...like 4 to 10 mins.. just put them up by the tits and she is like bhandi

Wants them right up by where she can control them  and lick them

just gently put them so they can find a ninny
 that is why I said I was so sore rolling around the whelping box making sure they ate and then if she has another you have to move them aside and then let her have them back..


Kinda half clean up but then let her go back to laying down and let them start nursing..the pups will root around till they find one but she has to be calmed down ..after a while they will all get to nurse.

just keep them warm while she is up and having them

I keep a heat light at one end so while she is messing up the box I put them in a pile , but she may go get them...kinda help her keep them in the nursing area...

I just keep calming a bitch like that and petting her head and telling her its ok  let them suck...sure hope she is not a clean freek like Bhandi was..

makes it difficult...just keep putting them up to their eating place and it is a chore as she is nervous about hurting and having contractions.....

Ok I am gonna try and get some sleep..I told you it happens at night...lol

I will leave my computer on..and will check in later.

just command her to lay down if she won't  ....be firm but let her have them but just coach and gently be ready to make sure all of them eat...later...no big hurry while she is up and down but they should be looking and if you keep them there, I also use rolled up towel so they dont fall off while there are only two...when more they fight for their dinner and lay on each other and brace them selves against the other one...with only two I roll up towel and put behind so they push on towel as they nurse
GOOD Luck

Oh this is soo exciting ____ Good Luck

WHEW!!! I had to get up early to check this, lol. 

How is she now? How many pups? Vet didn't have any reason to think due to premature placental separation (or anything else) that you could have a dead pup in there? 

I'm still worried. Green discharge prior to puppies can be a very bad sign, and it had been going on a while before I saw that and posted, plus she said it was getting heavier and yet the first pup wasn't born until 1am. Yikes, you'd think this was my own dog the way I'm worrying! 

PLEASE let us know how she and pups are doing! Oh, I hope I am totally wrong and every single puppy is just fine! 

As far as eating, they don't "need" to eat immediately, but are they trying to eat? Is she just hovering over them or actually preventing them from traveling to the nipple?
