Glad they are ok. Was the choc male the last one? Is he smaller? My friend mated her bitch 3 times and one of those, the last one born was smaller and weaker than the others. The vets said (as did a well respected Canine mating/fertility expert) that he was probably conceived on the last mating, so "premature" he pulled through but took a little time to catch up. He was smaller all round, but at 12mths he is a normal size. Dawn. |

Hi Dawn, yes he was the last one but no he isn't small at all, certainly not the smallest. The problem occured because his sac had broken, Maddie was tiring and took ages to get him out. We took her out for a run in the car which seemed to perk her contractions up again but by the time he was born he had inhaled loads of birthing fluids into his lungs. He was totally 'flat' and not breathing but I spent ages swinging him and sucking the fluid out of his nose and mouth and gave him some Dopram V drops. Eventually he started to breath albeit very eratically. I kept up with the swinging and sucking and eventually he cried and I knew he was with us but then he struggled to suckle. Tonight, however, he's fighting the others off his favourite teat  he is certainly very much brighter now and suckling relatively well. He's maintained his birth weight whereas all the others have gained but considering he's only really just got the hang of suckling I'm pleased with this. Thank you all for your good wishes  |
