Day 60- Puppies!

Finally.....


I know something's wrong with my tummy since last night. I have been hiding in the box and attempting to tear all the bedsheets there. This is a video of me last night ard 12mn, my owner was still playing Wii Guitar Hero...



I managed to endure till this morning. My owner brought me to pee and shortly after returning home, i dashed into the whelping box. I knew something wasnt right.

Shortly after stage 2, i felt something coming out from my vulva. I could feel my vulva expanding. I screamed in pain. I was at a loss and so i dashed out of the whelping box! My owners were so shocked to see me panicking. I was in a squating position when i delivered my first puppy. My owners feared that i would squashed the puppy and they helped me to a lying position. My owners were all flustered. Sorry, we didnt manage to flim down the birth of the 1st puppy. I have a clip of me cleaning the puppy up and erm, eating the placenta. Word of Advice- Do NOT watch it if you've just eaten. The 1st puppy was a male and arrived at 8.47am. He weighs 169g.



Photo of my first puppy- Male! Can you spot the 2nd puppy ? The 2nd was huge baby! I struggled to squeeze him out! My owner helped me with the process by pulling the puppy out when i contract. The puppy almost couldnt make it in time had my owner not intervened in time! The 2nd puppy was delivered at 10.09 am, measuring 228g! He was tagged white.



The 3rd puppy was a fast one. It followed shortly after the 2nd. It was delivered at 10.27 am. Look at this active puppy. Haha! She's wriggling so actively even before the sac was torn! My owner likes her most. Awww.. isnt she adorable? By the way, she's the first female puppy in the litter, weighing 196g. She was tagged light pink - Pink for Girls!


A snap shot of the three healthy puppies! Can you recognise which is which?


Puppy 4 was a traumatising experience. My owner did not take a good video of it as she was trying her best to save the puppy. The priority is to save the puppy more than anything else! Puppy 4 was big. At the same time, i was drained and tired. My owner had no choice but to start pulling the puppy when the puppy was still 2/3 in the canal. She would usually intervene when the puppy is at least 50-75% out of the canel. Being aware of the consequences of "pulling" the puppy, she crossed her finger as she assisted the delivery.


The survival of the 4th puppy was extremely worrying. The puppy did not move. She also did not respond to any resuscination methods. In short, not breathing properly- She had a lot of amniotic fluid in her lungs, and we could her her "coughing" and "choking". 15 minutes had lapsed and my owner finally got her breathing a little. I did some licking and tossing her around with my tongue to stimuate her to move but she was too weak to crawl back to me. Just as we were busy reviving her, the 5th came...





Puppy 4 is female whereas Puppy 5 is male. Puppy 4 weighs 192g and was tagged Yellow. Puppy 5 weighs 171g and was tagged dark blue.



A happy family...
