my doggy is going to have her babies?

Question

what do I do, what do I do

Answer 1

Oh oh.. Don't know. Oh yeah.. Just leave her, she'll do it by herself, nature will take care of everything. If you want, go buy a bottle of Champagne, celebrate at all the money you are going to be making and don't give it a second thought ! :)

Answer 2

Here's what you do! You call whelping Nanny 911!
Have her show you the right way to whelp and train the pups! You make a pitcher of Long Island Ice Tea's and write down everything she says!
If your really good and do as she says you will not have to sit in the naughty chair!

If that doesn't work then relie on your many years of experience and do what you've done for many, many years! ;)

Merry Christmas!

Oh I'd get the bubble gum cigar's! This way at least you can give them to your grand kids! lol

Answer 3

Pass out cigars, print out birth accouncements and take pictures of the new arrivals.

have fun and Merry Christmas.

Answer 4

Also; try to watch from a respectful distance? Rarely, the puppies will be born too quickly, and the Mom may get distressed and fretful trying to clean up 2 newborns at once.
She may seem rough with the pups, may nudge them around a bit, and that's okay, but be careful a puppy doesn't get wedged beneath her for too long, or squezzed up too tight between her and the box. Be forwarnded; she will consume the afterbirth and the sac of each pup, that's normal and healthy for her. Good luck!

Answer 5

well, first, you should have had her spayed to prevent this problem. Always get your pets spayed if you don't know what you're doing. Its dangerous to breed your dog unless you're liscensed or really know your stuff.

But, since it's too late:
The best thing to do is GET.HER.TO.A.VET!! If something goes wrong, you may not be able to fix it, but chances are your vet probably can.

But if you aren't going to do that:
Give her a warm, secure, closed off area with lots of towels and blankets(that you don't mind throwing away. You'll never get the birth yuck off) and let her nest there. She may not want to, but eventually she'll realize its where she has to have her pups. Be very gentle and try not to interfere unless its crucial. If she is a small dog you need to be even more careful, puppies can get stuck in the birth canal, more frequently with smaller breeds, especially if they bred with a larger breed dog. Just make sure she doesn't seem to be in too much pain, or there isn't too much time between the births.
I warn you now, birthing fluid is really nasty to touch, but if she doesn't do it herself, you may have to step in and break the membrane to get the pup some air, or if there are too many to watch over all at one, help her dry them with gentle rubbing of the towel.
Always watch the mother for dam agression, My cat nearly took off the tip of my pinky finger when I went to pick up her kitten once and he squalled. She only did it once, 'cos my cats know they can't bite and she caught it for doing that. (I would never hurt my cats, of course, but they do get scolded) But make sure you don't really scold her for protecting her puppies, unless she hurts someone.
If there is a runt, watch to make sure to check that it's getting enough food, as they tend to be pushed aside. Watch for defects and other things.

I still say go to the vet, right now. And ALWAYS take the puppies in after their born, and as soon as they're old enough for their shots.
If you don't plan on getting them their shots then...well, you shouldn't have a dog in the first place.

I'm guessing your dog isn't giving birth at this exact moment. (Just in case if she is, the best advice I can give you is bring her to a Vet as quick as you can! And don't read the rest of this message just GO!) Now that's settled here a some useful tips I can share with you.

Usually the ***** (no pun intended, its what they call female dogs) conceives exactly 60 days after mating. If you remember when they mated count of 60days from that date, That is when she' is going to give birth.

About a week before she will give birth she will start looking for a place its usually a tight, secure, quiet and cool place. If she has found the place that's where you set up some old towels or clothes on the floor. Trust me you will need a lot. You'll know this is the place because she will start scratching the floor like she's digging. This is like their nesting period. And it will happen frequently at the same spot.

To make your dog comfortable with your presence always keep her near you. Sometimes they like their stomachs rubbed softly, and if you're lucky you might even get to feel the puppies moving.

Now, you have to decide if you want to help give birth to the puppies or you'd rather not. Talk to your vet about them taking car of your dog during this period. If you want to personally help in the birthing read on...

You will need some surgical scissors, some string, betadine solution, cotton swaps, a box with some old clothes or towels, a lamp with a regular bulb (not the energy saving ones they don't emit enough heat), (if you want) surgical gloves.

Your ***** will be very thirsty so some cold water in her dish, in my experience I had to feed her water using a syringe w/o the needle. Basically the birthing process of a dog is the same as humans. They will have contraction and the closer they are together the closer the time for her to give birth. Then She will start pushing, now as much as possible don't distract her during this time. Liquid will come out of her, this will be a greenish tinge. If she hasn't given birth in 2 hours since she started pushing, or when the liquid is color red or black rush her to the vet . .When the puppy comes out immediately break the sac, remove any liquid near the nose by wiping it. Tie the umbilical cord 3 inches away from the puppy then cut it an inch away from where you tied it with the scissors. Pick up the puppy clear its nose and its mouth, just by wiping its mouth and nose again. While holding the puppy, lift your arms slowly up to the level of your head then slowly back down to your lap, do this 3x, this helps the puppy get more air. Wipe the puppy with some dry cloth. Get a cotton Swab put some Betadine solution at the tip then rub it at the end of its umbilical cord where you cut it. When your done feed the sac along with whatever thats attached to it to the mother, This helps with her fertility (this is natural, she will have no problems eating it, if you do just look away). Then put the puppy beside its mother so the mother will get to know her. Assist the puppy's mouth to one of her mother's nipple. When you notice the ***** is starting to push again remove it from its mother and place it in a box with warm clothes. I advise you to put a lamp over it. Because if the puppy gets cold it can die. Then repeat the process again with the next puppies. If all the puppies are already born wipe the ***** with a towel soaked in warm water and drain it. So the ***** will not get too wet. This is just to clean some of the liquid that came from her. You can give her a bath a week later. When your done don't forget to leave the puppies with its mother. She will know what to do. But keep the lamp on them so they will be warm. Next day try to bring them to a vet just to check that everything is ok with the puppies as well as the *****.

It is my opinion as well as most of the veterinarians here that it is best that you are near or exactly by her side when the ***** is giving birth. And will handle the puppies as soon as possible. But always handle the puppies in front of the mother, Don't make her think that you will do something to its puppy. This ensures that you or anyone will be able to hold the puppy in the future. If you leave them alone, it will be harder for you and your vet to handle the puppy because the mother is not used to it and does not trust you or anyone else. Making it harder for check ups, feeding and cleaning. BUT (Note Well) Do this only if you are the owner of the dog and it knows you and if it is comfortable with your presence. Please if you are not close to the dog DO NOT do this!

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 7

Are they ready to go home around five weeks old? How much you are selling for or giving them away to family or friends?

Answer 8

Get a box of cigars ready to pass out and look forward to the new hunting prospects!!!

Answer 9

Here's what you do. You go to your local shelter and look at all the faces of the homeless puppies and dogs. Then think about how however many puppies you have will be that many put to death at the shelter because people will take your puppies instead. And then if those puppies breed and you continue to allow your dog to breed in six years you could be responsible for SIXTY SEVEN THOUSAND PUPPIES OR DOGS BEING PUT TO DEATH. Nice thought, eh?

Answer 10

Set up a nice warm spot for her and just let nature take its course. Doggy will know exactly what to do. Also, do not handle the newborns right away. Let Mommie Dog take care of them and do what she has to do.
