After Whelping

Willow is tired but doing well. She is eating. Pups are eating.

All is well.

Here are a few photos. Hope to get more videos up later.

Puppies Are Here

First born at 742am. It's a boy and looks like a chocolate tri. He weighs 6-4/8oz 187g

Here is the gallery. I will be uploading to it as pups arrive. Just finished adding the rest of the photos now.

Second one born is a boy at 822am. He is an apricot tri. He weighs 6-6/8oz 192g

Third born 920am. It's a girl with a blaze on chest. Appears to be apricot. She weighs 5oz 170g

4th born is a girl and she weighs 5-3/8oz 154g. She was born at 1026am She may be a chocolate tri. We shall see.

5th born at 1052am is a boy and has the most markings to disntinguish between but things change when dry.. He has a white chest, white on back of head. He weighs 7-2/8oz 208g

6th born is a boy born at 1120am and he is a black and white.

Now meet the 6, 4 boys, 2 girls. Last placenta is not out but it can come out within 24 hours so nothing to be worried about. All pups are lively and Willow is mighty pleased.

Link for videos will be here and they will come as I juggle. LOL Mind yolu without sleep. hahaha Gallery is above and I am adding the last of the photos now.

The Number is In

Click on photo for larger viewWillow has 6. I have sent the xrays to my repro vet yet. I will let you know when she thinks she is due. That means 18?

Her anal gland has been expressed. I tried but it wouldn't express for me. It is still swollen but not punctured. It will heal.

From repro vet:

I see 6 pups on this radiograph as well.  I believe she is due as you expect on August 5th - this Thursday.  Due to her size and groaning with 6 pups present, I would not be surprised by August 4th either.  

I am glad the anal gland was not too much of an issue. 

Good luck!

From me: We are on watch despite the dates She is not happy with me picking her up and I will not be taking temperatures as I assume she is just too sore there. So, we will watch for other signs.

Add Insult to Injury

Poor Willow has an impacted anal gland that I can't express. Hoping vet can before it bursts. We will post what the xrays say this afternoon.

Nothing New

Willow has her xray tomorrow. 

When is the Earliest?

It seems her xray is Tuesday and that is her earliest date. Will she make it to that date or will Nathan be at his own doctor visit when she is delivering? LOL Time will tell. Hmm Tuesday is 2 days and I still have to set up her xpen and have no clue where it will fit. We will figure it out when Dennis is up. Oh boy.

Earliest Date

Willow's earliest date is actually August 2nd the day of her xrays. LOL

Growing

Willow's tummy is expanding. It will be interesting to see how many she has. August, I am sure will be a blur. I am hoping this year September stays warm so I get less than a truncated pool season. Sounds selfish but that's my only holiday. We shall see.
