Are you sure there are more puppies? Sometimes there can be some time in between puppies but if she has been pushing this long you best get her to the vet. The puppy may be too large, dead or turned and can't make it through the birth canal. Your female may also need a Pit shot.

Nif it is an infection, could be bad for the puppies. You should see a Vet. Mom may need antibiotics and puppies hand fed.

And from the way you describe them, they are inguinal hernias, which are not all that common. Most hernias in puppies are umbilical hernias that appear as a little bubble where the umbililcal cord was attached, and they are caused at birth by the mother chewing the cord off too vigorously and too short. The chewing and pulling on the umbilical cord causes a tear in the wall and the hernia is formed.

d hypothesize (1) something they are eating, rolling in, being bitten by? Do they go outside? Do they stay in the laundry room where they might get a little detergent or bleach? or (2) a hereditary problem? Did you use the same sire each time? If so, he and your ***** may each have a recessive gene for this--something that wouldn't show up in the adult parents because they are just carriers, but would affect about 1/4 of their pups.

I have heard of nothing but problems in both litter box and "paper" training puppies. It literally TEACHES them it is okay to eliminate indoors - and that is counter to a main basic rule of house training. So I think you are exactly right and that is why you have the problem today. The breed did not do you any favors. I love Dr. Hetts recommendations. I think it will work if you are very consistent about it.

Our garbage comes tomorrow luckily, but do I need to worry about any of them crawling around my back yard with the puppies, do I need to worry about them getting in my house. I am just kind of freaked out they are so grose. Help! thanks!

Wow, TEN, isn't that unusual, maybe a record? I don't know what Gruel is, but I assume that means the puppies are now taking in more than mother's milk - the mother must be exhausted. I'm not a puppy expert, but respond mostly in response the the large number of puppies. What is the normal (not pregnant weight of the mother? On outside, how cold is it? MN has got to be in general cold.

I have two different breed puppies. The bigger puppy keeps pinning and standing over the litlte puppy then plays to rough and makes her whine. How do i get him to stop pinning her down and standing over her?

People will always try to find things to pick at and always try to put there 2 cents in but I just learned to let it go in one ear and out the other.

My Shih Tzu should be having puppies in about 2 weeks and I have never had puppies before. She has had a few litters already but this will be first. When do I introduce the outside to the puppies and when d I start them on dog food. I inherited these dogs from my Mother-in-law. She was a breeder and then she passes away.

my husband was wanting a puppy really bad and i was going to get him one for christmas but now im second guessing it.

IF you knew for a fact you were not going to be bad-breeding in any way (ie breeding in weaknesses like bad hip scores, etc) IF you had definite and loving (and dog-wise) homes already for the possible puppies, with people you already knew well, and trusted implicitly, whom you knew for certain were both responsible and also able to provide financially for a dog for the rest of its life. IF you knew for certain those females were healthy enough to BE breed-b-i-t-c-h-e-s.

my dog is in labour shes had 3 pups but is now losing green liquid is this normal ?

The puppies from one horn are born, the mother rests for a little bit, and then she delivers the puppies from the other horn. There should only be an hour or so in between horns. If she is pushing longer than that and not producing any puppies, it's important to have her checked out by a vet since it's possible for her to become exhausted and not have the energy to push out the remaining puppies.

hello, i have a 1 year old ***** and she has had 4 puppies and her one breeast is swollen and the puppies cant get no milk out of it ...... could it be breast duck block? or what could it be ?

Not only would it be unfair to the people who ended up buying the puppies, speaking not only in terms of medical bills but also in terms of watching the dog they love suffer with the allergies, it would be unfair to the dogs themselves, since they would be the ones suffering with the allergies. I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but when it comes to creating new lives, we must be as realistic as possible and strive to do only what's best for the dogs in question.

When I walk by a pet store in a mall, I have to close my eyes. If I see the puppies in the cages, it drives me nuts all day. The cages are so small, and some of the dogs are so big, and I don't even want to think about what happens if they don't get sold. I can't believe the stores can't be shut down for animal cruelty, cause in my opinion, it is.

We did not know that she was pregnant until one day i saw her belly moving around and we could feel pups in there moving. she is spot bleeding now and has had all of the signs of labor, but no pups yet. is a little spot bleeding ok at this time?

Sorry, a litter of puppies is not the solution.

It usually appears after the puppies have had their first shots, however it is not unusual for it to appear in puppies in the 3 to 5 week age group. You really do need to get these puppies to the vet, however, because once the pustules start, if you do not treat the disease aggressively, the pustules can cause severe scarring of the facial features. The disease is sometimes misdiagnosed as staphococcal pyoderma.

Charlotte is likely immune to parvo if it is true that she's had it and survived. It's not too late to clean & bleach the house for the puppies' sake if they haven't been born yet. If I were you I'd pick a room with linoleum, bleach it and keep those puppies in there at all times.

I advise telephoning the vet first, to warn them in advance you will be bringing Parvo-infected puppies in.

I have a little 4 month old puppy chihuahua and at 2 months he was involed in an accident in which he was tripped over (by me) and was fighting for life in the vet. The emergency vet said he wasn't going to make it and my heart broke then, however my little fighter. I phoned the vets every hour until late at night and then early in the morning I thought i was bugging them to. I also, dreaded every phone call as i didn't know what i was going to hear.
