Possible Mucus or not???

[savethebulliedbreeds]

I personally don't think that helping with the delivery will cause the mother to abandon the puppies. Just make sure you let her clean them and stuff too. You can't do ALL the work for her.

My chi that needed a section did not want the pups after the surgery and actually growled at them. But she was not in labour before she had her c-section. She was probably wondering where the hell all those pups came from lol. It took her a few hours to get used to the fact that they were hers but everything was fine in the end. If for some reason you do have to get a c-section done and she is not in labour before it, make sure you have mammalac or another milk replacer available just in case she does refuse them.

Just wondering if other people have had any trouble with the bitch rejecting the puppies after being handled to much during delivery? Im wondering cause I am always right in there when my dogs are delivering and I have never had a problem.

Not me, Dixie is animal aggressive to animals she does not know, and I was very concerned, but man, she loved them so much and still does.

Funny how a dog has to HAVE the animal for her to be nice to it!!!

I agree it won't always cause that, but Libby's mom was helped too much by the breeder and she wouldn't take care of the pups. On the other hand Libby had to have a c-section and had did not experience giving birth, but she still was the best little mama. I was just saying that I have heard and know know someone who had experienced this by helping too much with the delivery. Not saying this will happen, but there is a more of a chance then if you let her do it herself. Unless she, or the puppies need her help.

I wasn't trying to prove you wrong sweetbassets, if that is what you were thinking. I had just never had a prob with it before and was wondering if anyone else had. Anyways sorry for rambling I just wanted to make sure that is not what you were thinking.

I have never had problems with rejection I handle my pups from birth.

 

[sweetbassets]

Oh I didn't think that. I'm sorry if I sounded offensive, I wasn't trying to.
Libby's breeder told me about her problems she had with Libby's mom, and my breeding books that I used when learning more about whelping said the samething. I'm sure different dogs different situations. I just wanted to give a little heads up just incase because I know it can happen, but not saying it will.

Again I'm sorry if I sounded offensive. I'm not one to start fights or get into arguements, I try to avoid them . Everyone here is so nice that is the last thing I would want anyone to think.

 

[savethebulliedbreeds]

No you didn't sound offensive at all I just wanted to make sure.

Did you keep her whole litter?

No, I had 8 pups, one died in a few days following or so, I kept three and gave 4 away. The parents were not health certified or titled wih the UKC, the father had a few wp titles with the adba. However, the moms side had an impressive peidgree in UKC and dad did in ADBA.

It was a planned pregnancy, but unplanned. It was planned for a later time, but happened sooner then expected.

I kept one because she is disabled, and the other two for weight pull. I also have 2 adult APBT and two Pekes at home. Yes, I have a circus, but proud of them.

I would have kept every one of them if we had purchased another home sooner. Mine now is too small, but we are looking as we speak at acreage.

I still keep in contact w/ the pups in their new homes, one is spayed and 3 are showing!

I will never breed again no matter what. It was too hard to part with them, and I still hate the thought of giving them up.

 

[ChiBree]

Oh no, why did one die??

 

[ChiBree]

Well I am off. Driving home picking up Zoey (who by the way is doing fine per my husband, no stress, babies active as ever) and we are heading to the Vet!

 

[ChiBree]

By the way, Zoey was bred with a long haired Blue Merle. I'm excited to see how the pups turn out!!!

 

[Mach1girl]

Oh no, why did one die??

He ingested/inhaled milk, it was in his lungs.

I cried, as I took pics of them before getting in the shower and when I got out he was dead.

It is normal to lose a pup in a litter, just so you know it, it happens quite often I hear.

 

[Boxerowner]

Oh I cant wait to hear what he vet says! Hurry back

 

[Bailey+Ralph]

I hope something happens before i go to bed tonight
