Just taking a quick break between feeds to let you know that the little one is still with us.
I never even thought we'd bring him home. His heart rate was so low and after 10 minutes of rubbing there was no change. He was put aside as we thought that was it. He gasped a little but again we thought it was his last breaths. Only he just kept gasping, more and more often, for 10 more minutes, so he went on the heat pad and started to move his little head and legs.

I sweated so much in the car on the way home, with the heating on full blast keeping the pups and Blaze warm, hoping that Blaze would lay still in the back of the car and not spread blood everywhere, and hoping to doG that the little one would survive the journey.

It was a difficult journey, trying to keep an eye on Blaze and the pups for the full hour long journey (I think I bumped into the back of someones car at traffic lights but it was 9pm by the time I left the vets after leaving home at 2pm).

Blaze is doing well, she's settled into motherhood quite naturally and given that she had a section she has accepted the pups wonderfully, licking and cleaning all of them even the tiny one which can't help but give us more confidence that he is doing ok.

All that is left to say is a big thankyou to everyone for their well wishes, especially to Sadie who was in constant contact and Jac who thought nothing of offering to drive all the way down to Chesterfield just to help me as I was on my own, and who was on the other end of the phone with sound advice for hours. Also to Geoff and Hazel who were only a phone call away as Mum rang to ask for a bigger box that I could pick up on my way back (the bitches kept climbing out of mine).

Given the topics on K9 recently that have given whippet racers a bad reputation, well here's one that shows that although we can all whine and moan at times when it comes to our dogs, the love and consideration shown by everyone on here just goes to prove what a great bunch of people you all are, that would do anything to help, not just your own dogs but other peoples too  :huggles: .

Must dash now - next feed is due, and my shift began at 6am, when will it end ? Who cares  :thumbsup: .

You would think wouldn't you that with a 28lb dog and bitch there would be substantial sized pups.

The vet seems to think the reason that Blaze has gone over is that the pups are small and the fact that there were only three meant that there wasn't enough in there for her body to get the hint and kick start labour hence showing a little discharge but not getting any further.

No names for these babies, not until we're sure they're all survivors

Good Luck :luck: :luck: with the little one fleesh :wub:

 

[Vicky]

I've heard of it when there's only one pup but you'd think 20oz of pup would be plenty but then again....................

Best of luck with the 3 babies :luck:

You know Blaze, awkward to the last. The vet only thought there was one pup in there so the others must have been tucked right up. :blink:

Lost the Brindle Bitch :'( She would not feed, off Blaze or the bottle despite how much we tried. Blaze would not lick her like she would the others and she just seemed to go to sleep .

[Fleesh]

It's one of those things I suppose, she had me worried most of the morning seemingly unable to feed from bottle or suckling and falling over all the time or just laying with her head flopping on one side with the bottle in her mouth not sucking.

The other two are still with us, Fawn bitch did not feed from 6am until 2pm, about an hour after we lost the brindle. It's done nothing but feed ever since.

Little one has had some good drinks on the bottle and has tried for the teats, I think he got a little bit but it's still hard for him being the size he is, he has increased in weight by about 5g (.2 of an oz) over the course of the day and he's pooing which must be a good sign (the brindle never pooed and Blaze just ignored it )

 

[Trojan]

Fingers and toes crossed for you Elise :luck:

Somehow seems the bitches know when things are not right and if they're not interested in looking after a pup seems they know best very often.

Its a horrible time when its like this, thinking of you and best of :luck: for the puppies and Blaze.
