Whelping all night.

After been here whelping my bitch all night, I awoke on the sofa to find 9 big yellow pups doing very well besides me.

I bred her to keep 2 bitches back, which I have (just), the other 7 are dogs.

I lost a lovely bicth pup which was a long while coming and I could't revive.(very sad, but these things happen).

I just have to make sure the others do well. She is a first time mother and has taken to them well, though she didnt think much to them at first.

Stage 1 completed, the whelping. Make sure you keep those pups warm and dry. Try lining the box with vetbed, have several pieces so you can clean regularly, and keep the central heating on. Consider moving the box from under the window. The pups will not be able to regulate their body temperature for a while yet, and though newspaper is easier with the mess, there is not sufficient insulation.

 

The bitch will clean up the pee and pooh until the pups wean.

thanks for the advice, but this is my 15th litter of pups so well rehearsed now.

the pups are fine as they are in the house for another 5 days or so, then they will go out into the veranda with a heat lamp if required.

Me or the wife are here off and on throughout to see alls well.

regards john :good:
