Question

I have a chiwawa iam not sure how you spell it, but heres the thing she has 4 of them one out of those four died becouse it came out late, now all three pupies are fine, but my dog cant stop penting heavely, what should i do, is this normal.

Answer 1

DO NOT go groping about on her belly like one person suggested! You could do grievious injury at the worst, and cause her excruciating pain at best!!! WHY do some folks answer Q's they have no experience/business answering? Take her to a vet NOW! Heavy panting is a PAIN symptom, and PAIN means TROUBLE.

Answer 2

what kind of dog is it? whatever you do do NOT leave it alone, MANY breeds have difficulty during labour, i breed chihuahuas and even after years of experience and reaserch and after over 2 years of reaserching the 2 dogs genetic lines taking 2 dogs from free whelping lines ect i still ended up with a ldog in labour and the pups undecending...$1500 and an emercengy c-section later mom and babies are all doing fine, had i "left her alone" another hour and all the pups would have been dead and the mother could have died too! i HOPE this was an accidental pregnancy and that your planning on having the dog spayed once the litter is grown as this kind of reaserch should be done LONG before mating even takes place not hours before labour is due. PLEASE contact your vet, know where your e-vet is and hopefully you wont need either! good luck! i hope mommy and babies are ok. You vet will be able to offer advice (and will likely suggest an xray to find out how many puppies to expect (important because you need to know if she retains a puppy in which case vet care is a MUST!) big things to remember is that during the birthing process mommy NEEDS to break the sac, cut the cord and stimulate the puppies into breathing by licking them. if she wont you need to do it, break the sac around the puppy first then tie the umbilicle cord about an inch from the puppies body and cut just beyond that, then with a towel rub the puppy fast and kind of rough to stimulate breathing. once all born they need to be kept warm (a heating pad will do the trick) and need to feed almost imediatly, if mommy wont feed they need to be bottle fed, use only PUPPY MILK (ESBILAC) as anything else is not good enough) If mommy decided not to feed them they MUST be fed at least every 2-3 hours or will starve! If mommy looks after them your work should be minimal for the first 3-4 weeks, after that you will be basically the maid. in those first 3 weeks keep an eye on mommas milk production and temperature, they can sometimes get an infection of the mammery gland which will require vet care. Youll also want to keep check of the puppies weights daily, they should fairly consistently gain weight! also avoid anyone but her primary person visiting during the first 2-3 weeks as its very stressfull. she should be on a good quality puppyfood at this point also (make sure chicken, duck, lamb or veal is the first ingredient, and theres no corn (rice is good!) and leave this available to her along with fresh water ALL THE TIME! then during the day you can give her some none sweetened non flavoured natural yoghurt (good bacteria and calcium) or mild cheese (mozzerella is good!) shes not goign to want to leave her puppies to go potty usually so you might have to take her on leash just make potty breaks quick because anytime away from her babies she will worry... hope this helps.

Answer 3

It's spelled Chihuahua! This is one of the reasons, only experience breeders, should breed their dogs. Too many things can go wrong, if you don't know what you are doing. This is not normal at all!!! She may still have more puppies inside her! If she's still panting, she may be having problems delivering them. You really need to carefully, get her and the puppies to the vet or emergency clinic immediately, to avoid possibly losing her, and the puppies. Keep the puppies warm, because they cannot retain their own heat yet. PLEASE, DON'T WASTE ANY MORE TIME!!! This is not a wait and see situation, she has to be seen NOW!!! I hope her and the puppies make it! Good Luck!!! I just want to add, that if she does pull through this, please have her spayed!!! If you want to, let us know what happens!!!

Answer 4

Holy ****... the idiocy.

Your dog probably still had a pup or so inside of her! The fact that you already lost one shows a high risk for losing more pups, and losing the mom.

Those pups and the mom need to be hauled to the vet IMMEDIATELY, and next time you think it'd be fun to have puppies--- remember this traumatic experience, and pass on your story of stress and loss of a poor innocent puppy (only one SO FAR) and be an advocate for spaying.

After this -- how could you NOT believe in spaying?!?!?!

Answer 5

Is she contracting or actively pushing? If she is doing the heavy panting, and the nervousness where she will not be still with the pups, she needs to go to the vet ASAP!! I just had an emergency c-section 11 days ago on a *****. Take her to the vet!! Now!!!

Answer 6

Gt her to the Vet's if she's panting it could be possible that she still has a puppy(ies) tat won't come out. The vet can x-ray her to tell, and do a check-up on the 3 remaining babies.

Answer 7

Why are you breeding if you don't even know enough about this dog to know how to spell the breed? And by the way dogs pant, they don't pent, they pant heavily not heavely and they have puppies, not pupies.

Answer 8

Your dog might be in trouble, heavy panting isn't normal. She needs a vet NOW ! There might be a puppy that is stuck !

Answer 9

You need to get her to the vet to make sure she's really done giving birth. It's not normal - take her in NOW!

Answer 10

What did your vet say when you called? I mean you must have called the vet who was caring for her during her pregnancy after the pups were born. Is she too warm in her welping box under the lamp?
