They said that since we don't know how long she's been pregnant, and since those babies are coming, that we just have to keep an eye on things. The first is out, washed and feeding. Lots of squeeking! That's a good sign, that mom is doing what she's supposed to and pup is feeding. Maybe pups aren't early after all. You got Neo in the nick of time. Gosh! Indeed. How's Bella handling this? Mustang Sally |

I'm sure that's the hardest part. All sorts of good thoughts, white light, fingers toes and paws crossed, etc. from here to you for the best possible outcome. Mustang Sally |

I don't think these are preemies. Probably not, but as long as she's having them, that's a good thing. As Gomer Pyle would say, "surprise, surprise, surprise!". Mustang Sally |

Her temp was 98 degrees this morning and now that I think about it, that would have been a big clue. Sure, it would have been, if you'd known before this morning that she was definitely pregnant. Then, if you'd had a chance to decide for sure how you were going to proceed before puppies started bursting forth, you could have done some research about what to watch for, and you'd have found that temperature was one thing....Oh, well, good old 20/20 hindsight. I really appreciate the cybe hand-holding. Both DH & I want to flee! I can imagine. Too bad we can't all do cyber feeding or cleanup or any of the other things you'll need. But really, if there is anything I can do in real life, please let me know. I'm not that far away, and I drive downtown 4 days a week. Mustang Sally |

news:2006120414302044303-montana@wildhackcominvalid: And we hated the office carpet anyway, so that's just going to stay gross until we can move everything and take the carpet up. Won't be soon... This is kind of gruesome, but when Elliott died, he was vomiting huge quantities of blood. I didn't think I'd ever get it out of my carpet. I tried everything I could think of, and finally gave up, assuming that the different products had set the stain. I covered it up and forgot about it until *months* later, when I ran across a bottle of Woolite Oxy Deep for carpets. That stuff is *magic*. I saturated the stain with it, smooshed it around a bit, and blotted it with an old towel. I think it might have taken two applications, but the stain was *completely* removed. I cannot recommend this product enough for removing blood and vomit stains from carpet. It's cheap and not labor intensive to apply, so it's well worth trying, even if you don't intend to keep the carpet. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) Remember, the curly toed miracle keeps the flip flop on. -- Eddie Izzard |

This is surely going to mess us up big time. But out of the frying pan, into the fire... I took Neo out to potty while DH changed the towels. Now I guess we have to take them all to the vet tomorrow to make sure everything's ok? Again, I'm so not a puppy expert. But she didn't have any care beforehand, so I'd say that would be a good idea. Vet can confirm that there are no retained pups and have a look at Neo's nipples. She could probably use some vitamins, too. Sounds like both she and you did a great job, though. Also, Nature's Miracle works for dried blood as well, though it's better on smaller stains, in case you happen to have that around already. Mustang Sally |

I wouldn't bring Bella in now if I were you. Bitches that have just whelped can be pretty touchy and protective with their people and with dogs they know; Neo and Bella don't know each other nearly well enough for Neo to trust her with her pups.

news:2006120415314129560-montana@wildhackcominvalid: We have some of the Oxy clean and it does wonders for light carpets, but it does make them fade. This used to be a white carpet six years ago. This stuff is not the same as Oxy Clean. I think it works *much* better (Oxy clean is one of the things I'd tried previous to Woolite Oxy Deep), and found that it did not lighten or bleach the carpet at all. However, at that point, I was willing to try anything, as living with a giant blood stain in the middle of the living room was a little distressing. A giant white spot or even a hole in the carpet would've been preferable. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) What I tell you three times is true. -- Lewis Carroll |
